This is a very interesting approach. Hope it works.

By the way, I couldn't download the ISO for bl2 well from the ru site and 
hence felt a bit discouraged. If there is a site where I can download BL2 ISO 
well then I would like to give it a try.

The simpler alternative would be to use a different keyboard but I am 
<br>trying to learn something from this one.  Again, is there some way to use 
<br>BL2 or BL3 to make a boot disk from boot.img?  dd if=/dev/boot.img

I will see if this <br>keyboard works with BL2 on another computer.<br><br>On

had the same problem with Puppy Linux as well as BBC Linux. DSL is based on 
Debian, Knoppix is also based on Debian, Knoppix will work on the same PC,

add modules whatever else needs to be done). Then make a live CD of this. In 
my personal opinion, it is simpler to switch to another more compatible live 
CD, than to spend time on mending DSL. In my personal experience Murphy's Law 
holds good, sometimes when I try to solve a problem I get two new problems, 
each of these creates other new problems. Then, if there is a simpler/faster 
alternative I prefer to take that.<br>><br>> Vijay<br>><br>>
