Hi, I just started to play with DSL. I downloaded it and burned it on CD. Now when I start up with the CD, the computer boots and starts up well, but when entering DSL, I cannot use my mouse or keyboard... so I can't do anything and had to push the reset-button to restart te PC.
The mouse and keyboard are both USB (keyboard is wired, mouse is a wireless optical mouse with a USB-reciever)
can anyone help me with this? thx in advance!

When DSL first boots and the large picture is displayed.
Does your keyboard work?
At the boot prompt can you type

dsl xsetup

If you can, then naviagte the menus to select usb.
