    mandrake 10 install problem

    All good suggestions and thank you. I have in fact solved this problem and possibly found a solution to some of the other usb related install issues (ie usb cd rom drives) My bios (as you suggested) has a power management feature that was default set to go to standby after 30 seconds and apparently the bios was running the usb rather than the installation so after 30 seconds of inactivity the bios would go to standby with no way to be brought back since all input was inactive. It doesn't seem to make sense but that is all I changed and it worked right now. Now to learn this os

    mandrake 10 install problem

    I am limited to using a usb keyboard/mouse, as my ps2 ports appear to be shot (just stopped working one day) Here is the problem. I start the install fine but after a certain period of time I get a series of two or three beeps from the box and boom mouse keyboard dead. I tried unplugging them from the hub and plugging directly to the mobo same deal. Is this documented for mandrake 10 installs, is there a workaround (ie some driver that can be installed) I'm using a belkin usb keyboard which is supported aparently and a microsoft optical mouse with a belkin 4 port usb hub on an asus board with 644mb ram and a pentium 750 mhz processor. Thanks for any help you might provide
