WAS : PLUG Meeting.... NOW : Install Using USB Keyboard

[keith smith]

Ok,  That did not come out right.  I know he is using an HP.  What I meant to say is it has been a long time since anyone has used serial keyboards.  So I assume Linux would load just fine.

I just installed CentOS 6 on a Dell with USB keyboard and mouse.  Worked fine for me.

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?

TIA

George

That's weird that the path info was in the message.  I did an "edit as new" on a message from last month and that file was already attached... and that file was moved to another computer weeks ago, so it couldn't have grabbed it from the file system... and come to think of it I just sent it from a completely different computer to boot.  Oh well...
