linux 107 Posting Shark

Hello!
Recently, I found a LNX-BCC (Business Card Linux) CD in my fathers IT bag (don't worry, I asked!). I have a:
Toshiba Satillite (BLOCK EDITION)
20GB HD
96MB RAM (WOOT)
666MHz Processor
ect. ect.

It boots fine off the cd, and into the command prompt. I type "startx" and it goes into the GUI, with the terminal started. It has a mouse icon, and my Microsoft USB Laser mouse is lit up, but when I move it, it doesn't work. Is it the mouse, or do I need a floppy with the mouse driver?
