<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Just installed Ubuntu 6.06 but am unable to
navigate with mouse or keyboard. If I left click mouse I get a dot which
when left key held down I create a block of another color. Before sign on
there is about a minute of a garbled screen. When I do manage to find
preferences w/mouse it hangs up when trying to set mouse preferences. I
have a microsoft intellipoint attached mouse, a microsoft intellipoint keyboard,
a Nvidia GeForce 6600LE video card, 2 gig mem, Asus P5WD2 mb w/975 chipset,
intel D920 CPU, Hauppauge WinTV 250, HP DVD 740, WD 2000 200 GB HD w/XP Pro
installed, and a WD 2500 250GB HD with hopefully ubuntu 6.06 installed. I
wanted to assign 10 gig to upuntu, 40 gig to home and 200 gig to a
common fat32 but never saw any options for these parameters and because I
cannot navigate I cannot go into disks to see. Is my hardware
incompatible?</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I wanted to learn Linux but if I cannot use it on
this PC without incuring additional expenses I'll run
<STRONG><EM><U>WIPEDISK</U></EM></STRONG> and try to remove the dual
boot option.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Can anyone help me get started and give me
steps of what I should do to be able to test and run it. </FONT><FONT
