i downloaded linux from: www.mandrakesoft.com and i burned it to a DVD.
Than it put it into my DVD drive and installed it
Than i choose the country (USA)
and than i came to the mouse screen
and it would not recognize my mx1000
i tried every single mouse configuration but nothing would work
so i went on with my keyboard
than i installed linux
set up a password + user name
than i came to the selecting/configurating hardware menu
in the menu it says that my LCD screen can not be configurated

I think you need to install the nVidia drivers for your video card. There are many posts/tutorials on how to that here.

look, you do not have to see a screen to log in or work. If the kernel is installed you can work right away. press ctrl+atl+F1 or F2 and do you're work.

if you have access to terminal, installing the rpm isnt a problem...
simpl dload all you need from XP and install in terminal
