Im trying to install mandrake 9.2 on a Compaq P-3 that has a USB keyboard. The install disk runs and brings up the window to either press "f1" for more options or "enter" to install. But pressing any key does nothing. I know it works.
I tried to use my wifes keyboard, it plugs into other type, or serial port I guess

I dont know what its called its the purple plug with the pins.
And it wont work either, I guess the bios dont recognize it since its never conected to that cpu before.
Anyway I cant press the enter key to start the install any ideas, is there a work around?
