I finally got DSL to boot up on my Gateway. Everything seems fine but I do have two question.

#1 I cannot use my mouse that I have connected to a usb hub. BUT the laptop's touchpad works fine. Any ideas.

#2 How can I change the screen size of the "desktop" ( I think that is what it is called in the linux world?? The laptop has a max 800X600 screen. I am not sure but I think DSL is booting at a larger resolution. I can see all of the icons and can get the right click menu but when I minimize a window it does not move to a "taskbar" as it does in windows but completely disappears. This behaviour makes me thing that it is being minimized in an area below the bottom of my screen size.

#3 Are there any step by step instructions on putting DSL on a USB  flash key drive.

I know there is a section on this forum about usb transfer. And I will go there and check. The problems is that I am a VERY VERSED windows person. I program (very small non commercial) for window. But this is my first foray into the linux/unix world. And a lot of the instructions that I have read from the web seem to assume a lot of linux knowledge on the part of the reader.
