Thanks in advance for any help.
When installing heron from a 8.10 bootcd, I get to the test keyboard part of the installation and the keyboard does not function. Its a dell bluetooth dongle and bluetooth keyboard. The bios recognizes it and the install screen, since I can select which options with the keyboard there. Are there startup parameters that i can use to get it to recognize the keyboard, or do i have to use a usb kb to 1st get it installed(lame way to fix this problem).
-thx

This will probably be too late to be of use, but try removing the USB dongle and reinserting it. This works for me to get a Dell bluetooth keyboard recognised (have to do it once per session). I have not found a way of getting the system to recognise it without doing this.
