anyone out there installed vpc 6 with your own version of windows 2k?
when i go to install, i have to agree to the eula by pressing the F8 key. for some reason the 17" PB doesnt let vpc use that button. the enter, esc, and other keys work but not F8.
any ideas? anyone seen this?

are you holding down the function key? (lower left corner). the F keys with specific functions dont work normally unless you're holding the fn key. on the 12" powerbook it's F1 - F7 and i think on the 17" its up to F9

Did you try holding the Fn key (in the bottom-left corner of the keyboard) when you hit F8? Remember, on a Mac the F keys at the top often have different functions by default (like the backlighting on the 17" PowerBook's keyboard).
