[newbie] LM 8.0 installation failed

[Carlos Berardi]

Lastnight i tried to install LM 8.0 on my laptop

IBM ThinkPad 380XD
P233
Neomagic graphic card
64MB RAM
4GB HD
Ethernet card
USB port
Serial and parallel port
Toshiba CDROM

I booted directly from the CD, installation started fine at first, but i
couldn't get the mouse to work properly... i tried all (really all) the
mouse devices listed at the beginning, but none of them worked....
finally i decided to do a "no mouse" install and worry about it later
the installation continued, but at the very end the computer frozed....
i rebooted it, aurora started, and then couldn't get into Xwindows

After 5 hours i got very frustrated and installed back good old LM 7.2
which works perfectly on my computer
