Or any at all? I haven't extensively tested this since all of the ia64 machines I have worked on have had PS/2 keyboards installed. There is 2 parts. The first is support in the BIOS and EFI. I have not tested this and I do not know if this works, but many ia32 machines do support this and I expect ia64 machines to as well. The second is the kernel. TurboLinux AFAICT compiles their kernels with USB support. It should support USB keyboards during install and after install. However, I have not tested this yet. I don't know if RedHat has compiled USB support into their kernel, but I suspect they do. JE
