Subject: Can't Install 7.1

John, would you please forward this to the Mandrake Expert list? Since
registering my own domain, I seem unable to be able to post messages to
the list, although I am receiving them.
After installing 7.1 flawlessly on my office machine, I tried it on my
home box. Unfortunately, I got bit by the same PS/2 port problem that
exists in 7.0: If you have a PS/2 port (even if disabled), the install
insists that you use it. So because I use a serial mouse, I can't use
the graphic install. Using the keyboard with it gets you as far as
partition selection, and just like in 7.0, this procedure cannot be
done from the keyboard.
So I chose the text option, as I had with 7.0, but it crashes with a
segmentation fault right after the language selection that comes right
after the mouse serial port selection. Because I have 124M RAM (4 is
used for video), I tried adding the suggested "mem=124M" with no
effect. At a friend's suggestion, I also tried "mem=64M" with no
effect. It always crashes at the same spot.
I sure hope one of you has the solution!
