Yeah, tis a laptop with a built in mouse, is a little hard to disconnect
the mouse. but I am wondering if there is more that can be achived by using
the expert install.. The onscreen info says that the probes can be averted
by using the expert install.... Would you know of more information on the
commands that i can pass, " expert noprobe " was suggested on boot. That got
me excited for a bit, but unfortunatly it didn't work. had the error
checking command line arguments
expert mode enabled, unknown option 'noprobe'!
I think that this might be the path to follow, If anyone has any idea of
where i could find more information i would be indebted to you....
Thankyou all..
