bootup screen
 

I am running redhat 9.0, actually i am trying to run redhat 9.0, the machine is a dual boot system.

i was trying to get back into windows xp(which is my other system) however my keyboard and mouse are wireless usb, and they dont seem to respond at the OS choosing screen. can you tell me if there is any way i can enable usb wireless support at the bootup screen.

also i wanted to know if i should upgrade to mandrake 10.0 from redhat 9.0, i am just a newbie, should i stick to redhat 9.0 for the mo, get my basics right and then move to mandrake 10.0, i had problems installing mandrake 8.2

using keyboard on lilo is going to be a bios level thing afaik, check that it is enabled in your bios.

as for upgrading... if you want... won't lose anything, but there's little point really.

i checkedm it is enabled in my BIOS

Does the keyboard and mouse work in linux? If they do, then you can help yourself :)

yes, they do work in linux
and the keyboard works at startup, i can go into the BIOS
however when i get the GRUB thing, keyboard or mouse wont work

Have you concidered just a regular PS/2 keyboard?

Also make sure ALL USB options aro turned on in the bios. USB 1 and 2 (just in case)

This happened to me a while back on a diff mobo than I hove now and preblew was that I didnt hove it on -- whoops

it is an old machine, pre USB 2.
