Any way, I am more than sure you will have to install gpm (`sudo
apt-get install gpm`) as it is definitely not a default package. You
will also want to make sure the "sermouse" kernel module is loaded

pathological personalities. It is not that power corrupts but that it
is magnetic to the corruptible. Such people have a tendency to become
drunk on violence, a condition to which they are quickly addicted.&quot;
