Normally we use "apt-cdrom add". Mounting is then automatic.

Mouse related problems can be caused by several things, like using the
wrong protocol or by using gpm improperly. "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86"

Maybe it was built as a module and it isn't being loaded. Try adding
"iso9660" to the end of /etc/modules so it installs at boot time. You
can install it manually with "insmod iso9660".

Believe it or not, that's a good thing. If you want to run 2.6.8, then
install it: apt-get install kernel-image-2.6.8
