This may be a coincidence or unrelated or whatever but, ...

I am trying to install xubuntu on a 64 bit computer that has a windows 7 
trial os on it (expired).  I downloaded the mini.iso file from the 
xubuntu site, burned it to a cd, booted up with the cd, up came a text 
screen, as expected.  The first screen accepted commands from the 
keyboard and the mouse pointer moved correctly.  When I selected install 
or another selection, the screen changed and the keyboard and mouse 
stopped working.  The inst said to use tab find a selection, space to 
select it and enter to execute it.  Nothing.  I rebooted.  same 
response.  I tried the M$ solution, reinstall the operating system (of 
course in this case it is the same as rebooting :) ), same response.  
Keyboard and mouse are PS2.  I have been using the same kb/mouse with 
another xubuntu 14.04 LTS for a long time - no problem.
