    Keyboard wont work when trying to install

    I have a new computer with new components so i think that may be the problem.

    When i boot from the fedora or mandriva dvd the keyboard wont let me choose an option to install and thus after a period of time it automatically boots me into winblows xp.

    If i could get some help getting me through this initial problem that would be fantastic.

    Thanks a lot casper that worked like a charm.

    Now i have another problem.

    Mandriva is not recognizing my cd/dvd drive.

    Any ideas on that one? Also if you want to recommend a different distro for me that would be ok too.

    I also use wireless internet with a d-link card if that makes a difference.

    Glad to help you.
    Distro Choice is on you only. Check this POLL.
    Check the link in my signature too.
    I also use wireless internet with a d-link card if that makes a difference.
    In that case, I would suggest Ubuntu only.
