Hello Greg!

The name of your computer & user are both 'ubuntu'?
If so, you should be logged in by now.
Just continue with step number 3.

Leo
Step 3 is forreleases prior to 6.06
Step4 inputattach--help gives me:
command not found

The 'command not found' appears because you don't have the inputattach tool installed.
You have to install it first.

Leo,
Sorry Leo-I dont know how I can do that as I cant install anything from the CD which is my original problem
Thanks
Greg

Hello again!

You could install Kubuntu from the command line but that doesn't guarantee that the mouse will work afterwards.
Maybe you could try to plug in another mouse and see if the system responses?
