As a minor point, keyboards and USB have to be fairly OS-independent, as if you need to 'press F10 for setup', you need to do it before the BIOS even knows if there's a hard drive there, and long before an OS loads.

Normally it means you've forgotten to plug one in, and the BIOS doesn't have a 'no-keyboard' boot option.thanks for the understanding with us newbies, i will probably drop the wireless kb, thanks for the heads-up about security
OK, there's probably a row of extra buttons that do clever things, but only after a 100MB service has been loaded by the OS, which is obviously rather specific, but which you can probably do without.
