use modcd, switch disc with iatkos or hazard and press f5... Wait, then type -v -x -f cpus=1 busratio=20(your busratio might be different, mine works fine at 20 I think) arch=x86_64 or i386 So it should look something similar to this: -v -x -f cpus=1 busratio=20 arch=x86_64 or -v -x -f cpus=1 busratio=20 arch=i386

-v -x -f cpus=1 busratio=20 arch=i386

or

-v -x -f cpus=1 busratio=20 arch=x86_64

If you have mouse problems then your mouse might not be compatible with the install but I believe usb mice work fine. If you have a ps2 mouse then you're probably going to have to get a usb mouse.
