i'm actually a newbie with a Toshiba laptop... i had a bit of difficulty with configuring my keyboard in redhat, but i've actually installed linux a few times, and the problem only occurred once (and i fixed it by disabling some stuff in xfree86config... anyway, it appears to be a very rare problem. i would, however, recommend being careful when choosing mouse type... i had some difficulty figuring out what to choose during installation because i don't generally use a mouse, and i wanted it to use the touchpad. i got that working eventually though... ~Erin

It is a pledge to fulfill our duties and obligations as citizens of the United States, and to uphold the principles of our constitution. And last but not least, it is a pledge to maintain the four great freedoms treasured by all Americans: freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom from want, and freedom from fear.� ~Lee Greenwood __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
