Oh well, I shouldn't have sent this late at night, then I would probably have explained the needed input as: 1) CTRL-s // start isearch 2) de // substring that matches "Device Drivers" 3) ENTER // quit isearch 4) ENTER // enter Device Drivers menu 5) CTRL-s // start isearch 6) usb // navigate to USB support 7) ENTER // quit isearch 8) ENTER // enter USB support menu Again, I'm really sorry for the confusion.
