Have you tried a different keyboard? That would be the first step in ruling out a hardware problem with the keyboard. If the borrowed keyboard works, get a new keyboard and don't worry about it. If it does the same thing, it could still be a hardware problem with your motherboard. I have installed Mandrake 8.2 a lot of times, and have never had this problem with a variety of keyboards, from brand new to ones with a lot of key names rubbed off (old). Never had this problem. -- Jan Wilson, SysAdmin _/*]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Corozal Junior College | |:' corozal.com corozal.bz Corozal Town, Belize | /' chetumal.com & linux.bz Reg.
