Run mousedrake, or see /etc/X11/XF86Config-4's mouse section,
should be something like
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection

Umm... probably diskdrake could do something (even non-harmful)
for that, or add something like this to /etc/fstab:
/dev/hdaX /mnt/win_d ntfs defaults,uid=YOUR_UID 0 0

Seems that right now Captive NTFS is being packaged for ALT,
so... :)

Yep. Since there are no updates/Compact/2.3 yet (as the distro
itself hasn't been released, though 20040219's snapshot seems to
be "mostly fixes" (and OpenOffice.org 1.1.0).

Try this (or via synaptic):
# apt-get install zsh
If it says "no way", then post the output of this here:
grep -v ^# /etc/apt/sources.list | grep -v ^$
