Thanks.  Can you try pbskids.org?  I could not get into any games at that 
site.

I should first try to get a working BL2 mouse.  This is the computer where 
your BL3.40 busybox and my 1.1.10 do not boot or insmod, nor does the 
BL2 full insmod work.  I will try BL3.32 busybox in BL2.  I would replace 
the computer but it is 600MHz with three ISA slots.

Do the gpm, svgalib, SVGA X and Xvesa mouses rely on some other file(s)?

Do all SWF sites load very slowly?

Even a 'basketball math' non SWF game rewarded each correct answer with a 
shot of making a basket (different each time) that took a few minutes to 
download and then played very slowly.  On a 166MHz with 32MB.

I should figure out and teach the kids your games but they heard of 
Nickelodeon (can't figure it out with Opera) and Disneychannel (needs 
later flash).

We have an asci DOS typing tutor and will set up a menu to choose between 
DOS and linux at boot time.
