Win2k installation (not linux-related)

[Randy Rathbun]

You are lucky. I wish I had had this much luck with Win2k.

I have a Microsoft USB keyboard and Logitech USB mouse. The system 
would do its thing, then it said "I am going to detect your hardware". 
Well, it did. Then after 20 minutes or so of installing, it comes up 
with "Set your timezone and hit the next button."

Well, I moved the mouse. Nothing would move. I banged on the keyboard. 
Nothing would bang. They are not turning USB back on! So, I was left 
with an impossible to install OS sitting there wating for me to click 
this or press that and I could not. I just rebooted it back to 98 and 
did a format on that partition, then I grabbed OpenLinux and did that 
install thing. Took me maybe 20 minutes from start to finish... 
actually it took me like 40 minutes because I was in the middle of 
playing Tetris on the OL install and did not want to mess up my game.

Oh yeah, and this was on the latest release candidate of W2K also.
