I just installed CentOS 6 on a Dell with USB keyboard and mouse.  Worked fine for me. ------------------------ Keith Smith --- On Thu, 5/9/13, G Gambill wrote: From: G Gambill Subject: Re: PLUG Meeting This Thursday (5/9) at OUR NEW LOCATION To: "Main PLUG discussion list" Date: Thursday, May 9, 2013, 10:12 AM Sorry to change the subject but I am having troubles posting to PLUG.  I keep getting a bad address. CentOS on a USB Keyboard Box - Next Install-Fest A friend has an HP (I think HP) box, with a USB keyboard, which came with some flavour of Windows. It got a virus and he wiped the drive only to find that in order to reload the OS, he needs the USB keyboard which is not available to install the OS until the OS is installed. I have been touting Linux for many years and he is interested. When is the next Install-fest? Can CentOS be installed given the USB keyboard? If so, what all should he bring?
