I had high hopes, but my hopes were quickly dashed.

The first problem I had was that my USB keyboard would not work – at all – during the install. That was disappointing but I was able to hobble through the install using only the mouse. Finally I finished the install and rebooted. LILO tried to boot Linux, and hung. I didn’t have a boot disk because the Mandrake installer told me that I would not be able to make one since I chose the XFS file system and the driver will not fit on a disk.”
