Thanks.  And yes, it is ethernet, I tried to use the serial cable, and it took
16 hours to install office on the laptop, and now I am wanting to do a network
install of redhat 6.0  I cannot get the slackware to recognize the mouse, and I
want to keep the trackball, with the laptop, and not have to carry the mouse
around.
