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
<br>of=/dev/fd0?<br><br>Another keyboard works with BL2 on this computer.
I will see if this <br>keyboard works with BL2 on another computer.<br><br>On

problem with the keyboards blinking as David suggested. However, with the DSL
Live CD nothing can be changed as it is fixed. Hence, it is best to move to
another live CD which in my suggestion would be Vector Linux. Incidentally, I
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,
this clearly tells that it is DSL that is lacking something extra that the PC
hardware wants.<br>><br>> The other option would be to install DSL on another
PCs hard drive that works, make the kernel really good(upgrade, configure,
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>>
