I just installed LINUX for the first time yesterday, and I've ran across
a few problems with it and my machine... maybe someone can give me a clue
to what's going on.
First of all, I tried to use LINUX with a 100MB partition, which it didn't
seem to like. It complain that it wouldn't be able to use something like
70000 sectors, so I divided it up into two 50MB partitions. What could
be the problem there?
Also, EVERY single time I boot LINUX, my keyboard is fried..... it will
type approximately 3-4 characters each time I hit a key (ie. it repeats
quite rapidly). I thought it was typematic rate problem so I changed all
my CMOS settings to try and correct the problem, but it didn't seem to
help. However, if I unplug my keyboard after LINUX has booted and then
plug it back in, then the keyboard is totally fine.
Anyone have any idea what that could be?
Thanks to all.
