Okay, so after numerous failed attempts on my desktop, I am going to try to install iPC on my laptop. The first issue that came up was that at boot up of the install dvd i get lots of Apple PS2 controller errors, assuming it's because of lack of a USB keyboard.
I am going to get a USB Keyboard and mouse and try again soon but I wanted to ask if there are any other things I need to take care of during install?

This was discussed in another thread recently, but the kernel support for AMD Turion CPUs is not available yet through the voodoo kernel that is used with iPC. However I have seen at the WIKI's Hardware Compatibility List iDeneb v1 works with Turion CPUs.
