I have two that work fine that I want to put 4.4 on. My question is what terminal did you use for the install? I get thru the installation boot up and to the point of selecting a terminal. I get the choice menu, and am unable to input a character using the standard keyboard, mouse, and video. What did you use as a terminal for the install? ANy hints? thanks bob "H.
