Help installing RH Linux 6.1 on laptop...

[Kevin M. Gleason]

I've had computer since 10;30 this morning and have tried loading versioon 6.0
and 6.1 repeatedly with no luck. It seems that when RED HAT gets to reading
mouse driver information (at the beginning of install for 6.1 and at the end
for 6.0) system locks up. Documentation says Linux supports touchpads but I
don't believe it. System detects a PS/2 type mouse but freezes there. Keyboard
locks up....must reboot.
