I saw the original poster did not seem to like to burn new cds so I
suggested a good alternative to use in that case. If he already has the
isos on the machine, i think it is a good method to use.
about the mouse, i think you have to try run redhat-config-mouse if you
can, or edit XF86config directly if you can. I haven't needed to do the
latter so I don't eactly kow how that works - started Linux a little too
late to have to configure my mouse.
