Mike, I think and that is think your first error was installing Mandrake from windows.. You should install it on start up before it gets to windows. Do you have your CD selected in BIOS in the startup configuration? My Bios is set to start in this sequesce CD, floppy then hard drive. Also di teh installation take you through the configure for XF84Config? Did it ask what type of moue that you had and to specify a /dev? for a PS/2 mouse the devce is /dev/psaux. For a PS/2 keyboard I don't know, sorry. IF it did not take you through the XF86Config setup, once you get to the login screen press ctrl+alt+F1 and that will take you to a console. Once there log in as root and then type xf86config and that is a text configuration, answer the questions and then save. After you save type shutdown -r now and that will reboot your system. If you responded to all of teh questions correctly you should have your mouse and keyboard. Don --- Mike Langlois <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi i am having trouble with linux mandrake 7.1 .
