First off.. I made a mistake.. I have Fedora installed.
the mouse I have is a ps2 ... both the keyboard and the mouse are cordless but the keyboard works in linux. Once I boot Linux up I am not able to do anything.. I can log and that is it. Is there another way to enter the command that were suggested? The first time I used the OS after installing the mouse worked just fine.. but when I used it the next day it would not let me use the mouse.
