i have tried to set up ubuntu and dam small Linux on two usb's i know the DSL one works but not on my Windows/ubuntu computer so i changed the boot order in bios from CD,hdd,usb,network to CD,usb,hdd,network and got the ubuntu usb to boot i then made a new account on my usb then shutdown the computer .i then but the DSL usb in and tryed that but it just got to the NEC screen and froze i restarted the computer without the usb's in it and it did that again i then but the ubuntu usb in and it made no difference. i even tried the life Cd's for ubuntu.i tired pressing F2 but it would not respond and when a try pressing nuymlock scroll-lock and capslock the lights on the keyboard dont turn on so i think the key bord is not getting picked up as well.
