I'am trying to install Mandrake 9.1 on a 30 gig slave drive, i'm using win xp pro on the master drive, using a microsoft wireless laser desktop 6000 keyboard & mouse combo, that apparently mandrake install is not seeing it. any help would be appericated.

now you expecting ms hardware support for linux? wow, that's what i call an optimist! :-) from the product description i understand that it works on usb AND ps/2 ... tried a different connector? Today's subliminal thought is: 'Calm down ... it's only ones and zeros.' icq 10183575

it will work using the onboard ports with different kb & mouse, but i thought there might be a driver to see it.

if it's ms stuff the drivers are most certainly proprietary, let's not get started on this issue :-) Today's subliminal thought is: 'Calm down ... it's only ones and zeros.' icq 10183575

I've got a M$ wireless keyboard and mouse. The keyboard works fine under GNU/Linux, the USB mouse only works when connected via a USB->PS2 convertor.
