Redhat 9 & Mandrake 9.1 with Windows XP & Me

I am moderately versed in all GUI versions of windows, decided to try linux.

Installled and running the above configuration for the past 10 days, kindly help me with the following:

Thx in advance,

1. RHL 9 does not recognize my keyboard (ps2) if i boot normal, the KB works only when the usb is disabled in boot (linux nousb)
every time since setup. Is there any go-around?

2. Running XOSL bootloader to log on to the select OS, Is there any other way to boot without using a 3rd party application.

3. Conexant internal modem is not recognized (in both distros)

4.How to configure Avermedia TV Tuner Card (Go Series)? I have xawtv.

hi,

Well for Cnexant internal modem on RHL 9 goto http://www.linuxant.com and download their drivers ... Detailed install instructions are given there.

Hope this helps,

Typically - to multiboot a number of OS's you can use a Linux bootloader like LILO or GRUB - for example - I am currently multibooting - Slackware 9 - Mandrake 9.1 - Red Hat 9 - Vector 3.2 - Win 98se - using the LILO bootloader - Linux bootloaders are sufficient for this task.
