Hey Femme I also got both USB keyboard and mouse. I too had problems (READ: 8 HOURS OF INSTALL!!!!!!!!!). I haven't had problems like this since RH 6.1! I just played with it for a while ( 8HOURS! ) and now I got it up and running.
Where in the install do your problems(USB) start? I had one problem where after I chose my lang(yes the very first step), I froze. I never even see the license screen. I solved that by clicking on a later step that I hadn't gotten to yet! Then went back, and all was good. I didn't even get to the update portion. After I tested my X config (which tested fine), my box froze. I had to do a hard boot. And when I came back up, I had no control over my mouse. I just rebooted and now everything is just peachy. hth Dave On Tue, 19 Mar 2002 21:40:07 -0700 FemmeFatale FemmeFatale <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Tried to install first time tonight. > > Nice installer & such one complaint.... > > I don't have a PS/2 or serial keyboard & mouse.
