When I plug in a thumbdrive, two exact windows pop up showing the contents. How do I make it so that it's only 1 window?
Does the thumbdrive by any change have 2 partitions?

I can scroll with my touchpad but I can't tap to click. Under mouse, there are no tap to click options.
Try creating a /etc/hal/fdi/policy/11-x11-synaptics.fdi file with the following contents:

Installation will freeze at the fontcache screen, took me a few tries to get past the freezing. I'm installing from thumbdrive.
I have personally seen this happen once with a slackware DVD, but never with a salix CD. I'm guessing it's the same problem, but no idea why it happens, there's no way to reproduce it.

Ok this is a headache. I downloaded the broadcom-sta driver from the official site. Extract it and tried to "make" under the terminal console.
I get this error message "/lib/modules/2.xxxxx/build No such file or directory can be found". The xxxxx is the kernel number which I don't have it now. I'm using the Salix provided kernel.
No idea about broadcoms, I've never had one, but maybe you just need a firmware file placed in /lib/firmware ? What module should be used with it? What does google say?
