I'm a new DSL user - just did a HD install onto my ancient ThinkPad 380D. Everything appears to be working fine, but the darn mouse arrow is hard to find most of the time.

I ran a search on how to change the size and other properties of the mouse arrow, but no luck so far.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

In a vanilla DSL it would require changing the cursor font to an enlarged version. There is a big-cursor howto all over the internet which desribes how you can resize the standard X cursor, but unfortunately it requires an application that is not available in DSL (I don't even have it on my dev system). The howto also has a dead link to an archive of resized cursors, so I assume it is probably still floating around somewhere. It might take some searching, since the howto is nearly a decade old.
