kudzu still behaving weird in FC1, (like when I installed RH9)

Hi list,

When I installed RH9 six months ago, kudzu gave me a hard time. It
still does.  When I try to install either FC-rc-3 or Fedora Core 1,
kudzu still behaves weird.

Kudzu takes more than 3 minutes to recognize my keyboard (DELL RT7D20)

I do a HD install, so I boot from a floppy.  I arrive at the first
screen: 'Welcome to Fedora Core'.

I want to select the installer's language; but the system locks-up when
I touch the keyboard.  Though there is a simple way to get along.  If
only I do NOT touch the keyboard for about 3 minutes.  So, I have a
coffee.  Then I hit 'enter' a couple of minutes later. Then kudzu 'wakes
up' and resumes.

At the next screen, I enter the partition where I saved the ISO
files.

I scroll to: /dev/hda6 and select it
on the entry field where I'm supposed to enter the dir where I keep the
ISO's I enter: /yarrow

I hit "OK". Then I get the following error message:

        Select partition:

        Error: Failed to read directory: /tmp/hdimage/yarrow:
        No such file or directory

        Device /dev/hda3 does not appear to contain RedHat CDROM images.

Since by now, I'm aware about kudzu's nasty habits, I do NOT touch the
keyboard for a couple of minutes. Then I simply hit 'enter' again.  Yes!
I finally enter the anaconda installer!

I hope this item will not be called 'off-topic' on this list.

Have a nice day.

Albert
