Description of Problem: arklinux installer hangs at the language prompt 
screen - mouse and keyboard do not function.  tried to use the nousb option as 
suggested on the boot screen, but problem persisted.  tried to use the "noapic 
acpi=off" as suggested and the boot loader responded "Could not find kernel 
image: noapic".  i don't think noapic is an option, but that is what the 
screen suggested.  i have used this media to install arklinux on an older 
linux test box without any problems.  it is failing on a dual PIII 866 abit 
VP6 motherboard with 256mb of ram.  i have fedora core 1.0 running on this 
server without a problem.  any suggestions would be helpful as i was looking 
forward to running arklinux on a faster system.
