[Sunhelp] Keyboard probs

[dhansen at zebra.net]

 Have you verified that your keyboard is not a problem? 

 Hardware problems are not the fault of the OS. I'm assuming 
this is an Intel based P.C., rather  than a sparc. If that is the 
case then your Bios chip is your problem, not your software.

 I'm not sure what you are referring to when you mention a "windows
dialog box". But as for what to boot from, just boot from your 
installation cd-rom.

 Never be afraid of giving 'too much" information about a problem
when you are asking for help, it's far better than giving too little. :)
