When I press f3 I then choose "safeboot". There are different things that show up on that line. But I don't know how to see things that I can't see. Boy that sounds dumb. What I am trying to say is there is more written then you can see. How do you move along that. Can't seem to get the cursor down there.

... usually using the arrow keys, left and right ... if you use the numeric keypad pay attention to NumLock state ...

OK quiet was there. I added splash=verbose. Didn't see much more. But it boots OK, like before. This mean I will have to do that all the time? If so I guess I can live with that. Now any idea about the scroll wheel?

Look a bit strange ... because the options "quiet" and splash="..." are meant to change only the screen output while booting ...
Anyway, yes, you can apply the changes permanently by editing the file /boot/grub/menu.lst, there you will find the boot stanza with the same option you edited while pressing F3. You need to be root to edit that file. Also, use a text editor i.e. kwrite, not a word processor. ;)

I'm sorry AS. I had to go back and reread your instruction again. I was not removing "quiet". When I did that and added "splash=verbose" I saw a lot. Sorry for my mistake in reading correctly. I believe I understand how to edit the boot menu list. I will do that later after I find out how to fix the mouse. Thank you so much for your help. This is why I love this forum and PCLinuxOS.
