Reply: (edit)If you tried to install OS 10.1 with anything other
than the keyboard and mouse it may lock up on you
because it did not have a driver for the device. 10.2
is much better but it is best to unplug every thing
including the printer. Try it agian and it will
probably work. You need at least 128 of memory
but 256 or more if you want to enjoy the full power
of unix. Memory is cheap! Hold the mouse button down on reboot and that
should eject the cd
