Hi all, Yesterday I was trying to Install PCQLINUX 8.0 on my PC.

Configuration AMD Athlon, ASUS Mother Board 512 Mb ram 80gb HDD Neotech Wireless keyboard with Built in Mouse.(This keybord comes with a InfraRed receiver that has two PS2 plugs coming out one for mouse and one for key board)

I have Windows XP in the First 5GB of my HDD.

When i start the install process, Its asks for installation mode I type in LINUX TEXT My CPU, HDD, CD , FLOPPY are all detected a) If both my Keyboard plug and Mouse plug are connected, None are detected and I'm not able to type os move my trackball No response is received by the system. b) If I disconnect my Mouse Plug, My key board workks fine, and I'm able to do my installation in text mode, In XConfig, Since I have not connected any mouse the setup fails.

(Its keyboard and mouse are properly running for Windows XP, My Keyboard sticker says that it supports WIN 9x and NT, may be they mean the extra multimedia keys)

Also I need help on setting up my Linux properly. This is what i want to do

First 5 GB win XP Next 100MB /boot Next 500MB swap Next 10000 / Next 5000 /g Next 5000 /h Remaining Windows Partitions

While creating all the partition i Specify size in MBs and not in cylinders Is that Ok?

When i try to do that using Disk Druid It give me an error while trying to create a partition "/g" as "Cannot Create Cylinder Based Partition"

I hope I'm clear in explaining my issues

thanks in advance for your help bala ----------------------------------- Balajee Chandrasekaran Software Engineer Majesco Software Inc.
