True Capt'n: I do find that getting answers to questions is confusing, cumbersome and difficult. Documenting features seems to be a skill that the community could do more of...and centralizing information on a given subject would be impoirtant as well.

Case in point, I have a problem with installing a USB keyboard. When I plug in the particular keyboard I have at home the machine reboots and then reboots and then... When I plug in other keyboards I get "USB Hub not recognized." Searching for answers I have found 50 posts with conflicting advice ranging from "USB keyboards should just work" to "you need to recompile your kernel" to "this is a known bug in Diablo." No single, definitive answer that fits my situation.

But that's why we love to hack, right?

The answer with keyboard is usually "you need more power". Anyway, once you figure it out, feel free to improve the documentation.

Thanks General. The more power thing never occurred to me. So, should I be looking for a low-power keyboard?

As to the Wiki...well, I just think it needs a lot more stuff. I seem pretty clueless about things, probably because I am still in my first month.
