After removing the entry for reiserfs from the /etc/fstab file. Then 
changing the entry in the /etc/sysconfig/gpm to "/dev/input/mice", I had 
a good terminal environment. My mouse worked pretty decent.

now for the GUI information. X still crashed and gave me errors.

Basically, I think that the distro is heading to the trash heap with the 
errors in nautilus. The lousy dialog box for trying to open files. I was 
unable to get the dialog box to open any file by typing it in the box. I 
could not click on the file because it was a file that was prefixed with 
a dot. (Hidden file.)

Hopefully these bothersome distribution corruptions can be resolved 
before the distribution becomes released.

I would like to be able to mount reiserfs mounts and be able to 
configure more of the system details.

Though gconfig-editor is not as grusome as regedit. It does kind of mark 
linux for extinction. The program should not be used for setting hidden 
options to the desired level. This area should only be used so that 
programs can include things that are not simple text for configuration. 
Things like setting a programs behavior should still be included in 
preference setting areas.

Sorry for the rant included. Thanks for the suggestions for bypassing 
the current system configuration quirks.
