This is my first time installing a linux system but not the first time i have used one. i like the setup you have here and the gui is very cool for such a small disto...

i had a few problems and i guess i wanted to know how i can get around them.

A) I use a USB keyboard and mouse and though the mouse was picked up the keyboard was not. and at the point that i was asked to answer the frame rate question i was forced to go get a PS/2 keyboard from teh basement and click enter a few times.

is there a way to install the drivers on the cd?

B)My network card wasnt recognized by this software and i couldnt get online due to the lack of a network card driver. is there a way to get that on as well.

(just incase,, i am using a "HP internet multimedia keyboard and mouse" and my network card is a "Realtek RTL8139/810x family fast ethernet nic")

i am using broad band so i would like to get firebird and all that stuff going but i dont know where to start on achiveing the web access with out the drivers
