The problem's come back with Hardy Heron. Like Loe Spee, my Dell OptiPlex GX620 (Vortex, Neo chassis) has NO PS/2 ports (in 2005 Dell converted PS/2 ports to an upsell add-on in the OptiPlex and Dimension lines of business) so the PS/2 port workaround is a non-starter. I'm *completely* unable to use any of the Heron alternate install CDs, which is a pain and a half since I'm trying to set up a dual-boot box without having to wipe the drive. The only way I can install Heron at all is to allow the regular install CD to count down, as foster did. So when is SOMEone gonna come up with an actual FIX rather than workaround suggestions (kmurray's <Shf> key suggestion fails to work with my hardware) or "sucks to be you" responses? (I don't even OWN a PS/2 keyboard any longer, and bedamn if I'm gonna go to Goodwill and buy one.)
