Description of problem: The mouse button order cannot be changed during installation so if one uses a left handed mouse it is a bit hard to use. There could be at least 2 solutions: - add a configuration option early in the process to allow the use of a left-hande mouse - the left mouse button is not used at all, all the actions could be bound to both buttons, so it would work for any mouse...
A configuration option is less than ideal because either it wouldn't be translated or its after language selection when people would have had to figure out the mouse anyway. The second option of making the right mouse button also work is more interesting, although I'm not sure how feasible it is. Sticking it on the FC5Target list at least to do a more complete investigation of the feasibility. If we have to do something custom around every widget, it's probably a non-starter, but if we can find a trick to not require that, then we'll see.
Does the graphical version of anaconda use X? (I have no idea...) If yes, then just doing xmodmap -e 'pointer = 1 2 1" (or something of the sort) would make both the left and right mouse buttons behave like the left mouse button. This is sort of a hack, but it should work.
This report targets the FC3 or FC4 products, which have now been EOL'd. Could you please check that it still applies to a current Fedora release, and either update the target product or close it ? Thanks.

Fedora Core 5 and Fedora Core 6 are no longer maintained. Is this bug still present in Fedora 8?

I don't think we're going to add this to anaconda, but we'll look at any patches submitted.
