|Solved| Old Macbook keyboard doesn't type...

Hi,
it is the first time that i'm in trouble: i have downloaded the december media installer but on my old macbook (2006) at the first "window" menù the keyboard dosen't work.

Firstly i start the usb installer with Plop CD (the pc dosen't start automaticaly the usb pen).

I have also tried to use it with an external usb keyboard but dosen't work.

Please, can you help me to resolve the problem?

Regards, Bubz

Is this a bluetooth (apple wireless) keyboard?  If so, I don't think you'll be able to get it to work for installation.  Get a wired keyboard at least for the install.

What "Window" are you talking about?  There are no window menus in the installation media.  Unless you mean syslinux.

Simple: i connect the usb keyboard to the first menu (do not start the pc with the usb keyboard connected). In this way it works correctly.
