[ale] gpm hangs under redhat...

[Josh Murrah]

On slackware at least, this signifies that you have your mouse setup wrong
(I had setup a PS/2 mouse, when I had a serial mouse, Dooh!)

You will need to boot from a root/boot disk, and mount the partiaion with
/dev on it.  link /dev/mouse to your mouse. (mine was /dev/cua0)

hope that helps,
