Hey, I'm a Linux newbie and was attempting to install Mandrake 9.0 from CD. I read in the documentation that you are able to install the OS in a Windows folder by pressing F1 and typing lnx4win...My only problem is that it will not recognize my keyboard (I mash keys, no response) so I'm unable to get into the text prompt. I am using a CONPAQ SDM4540UL USB keyboard. Maybe Mandrake just doesn't support it, but I dunno. Does anyone have any advice as to getting it to work, or a workaround where I wouldn't need to use the keyboard? Help is much appreciated.

Nevermind. I got everything figured out and successfully installed Mandrake. It's pretty sweet so far, everything works. :)
