Hi Stew,

My name is Stuart Guthrie and I'm subscribed to the PPC Mandrake Linux mailing list. I've been having a lot of problems installing Mandrake linux on my 12" PowerBook for some strange reason. I've tried doing it in text mode however there are incompatibilities with my keyboard (or something like that) because I'm unable to select the "I accept" button on the license agreement. Do you by any chance know of anyway that I can bypass this and simply install Linux? I do agree with all of the terms presented in the text. Also I have tried to boot into the old graphics installer by going

install-gui gui-old graphics=nvidia (geforce 420go)

however once everything starts up it is all unclear and fuzzy. What can I do?

Sorry to hassle you.
Yours truly,

STuart Guthrie
