I know that the mouse is detected as a 7 button mouse. I guess what I'm asking is how to make the side buttons act as a forward and back in a browser/file explorer. I couldn't find anyplace that would allow me to set that function up. The other thing that has come up since the last post. How does one set the default programs for web browsing or file browsing. For example I would like Natulis (sp?) to be used as the default file browser and Mozilla for the web part.

Is there a driver for the Logitech MX510 optical mouse? If so where could I get them and how the heck do you install them. I'm new to Linux but I'm convinced that Windows is EVIL!! So I'm willing to try out Linux and hopefully switch soon. Thanks

I came across this while surfing the web at work. Tell me what you think. http://external.nj.nec.com/~sven/linux/iso9660.html Now would this only work on network installs or would it work for with a fresh install?

That sounds like the same system that I'm currently using. I was just wondering if there was a way to mount the iso images as a cdrom during the install. I appreaciate your help on the problem. I think that I don't have enough patience to do a install, and was hoping to speed it up a bit. Thanks

I apologize if I sound like a complete n00b, but that's because I am. A couple of years ago I started messing around with linux and decided to choose Mandrake. I kinda lost intrest with it because I didn't now jack and finding info was hard to do with a dialup connection. Now that I got my wireless connection I've decided to give it a go again. So here's my question. I've installed Mandrake before and haven't had a problem with it except that it's slow as hell. What I was wondering was if I could use a boot floppy and install it with the iso images already on the drive. Something like mounting them when they are needed or something to that effect. That way I bypass using the ancient cd-rom that is in the linux box. I've done it with windows (copying the i386 folder to the hdd when installing WinXP). The HDD transfer rate would be a whole lot faster than using the cd's.
