Thanks to everyone who didn't respond, but luckily for me I fixed the problem.
Last night I was making some last minute changes to debian and I inadvertently selected the wrong mouse settings and now my mouse doesn't work. Is there any way to bring back up the wizard, gui, or whatever that walks you through setting up your mouse? Thanks in advance.

Sorry, I don't know the keystrokes to replace the mouse. How did you fix it?
Thanx,
no problem. Basically I just used the keyboard to open a terminal and then I typed synaptic (the apt-get gui). Through synaptic, I used the keyboard to remove gpm and rebooted. When the system came up everything worked well.
I would just like to point out that 34 minutes is a bit brief to expect a response...
