Hi,

I've got problem with my mouse. I cannot force it to scroll the documents.
The scrolling wheel is working for sure (I checked that in other distribution).
Anyone could help me?

We're not psychics -- more information, please. Did you run xsetup.sh and select the right kind of mouse? What kind of mouse is it? Etc.

You must tell x that it's a 5-button mouse (scrolling is seen as buttons 4 and 5). If you're using the standard x server, do as lucky said. If you're using XFree86, you may need to add this to the Input Device section of the config file:
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
