Description daniel.deimert 2000-10-01 10:45:40 UTC
When installing with the graphical installer, it is impossible to select
the mouse type using the keyboard.  The installer autodetected a Generic 
PS/2 mouse, and because this did not work I wanted to select a Microsoft
Intellimouse. But there was no way to expand the "[+] Microsoft" mouse list
submenu.

It would be nice if everything in the installer could be done with the
keyboard, including things like the time zone.

Brent please verify immediately.

Daniel-

	After some experimentation, you can expand the list by pressing the "+" key on
the keyboard (the one by the Backspace key).  The one on the num keypad won't
work.  Pressing the "-" key will collapse the branch of the tree.  So, although
selecting the mouse with the keyboard *is* technically possible, it's not very
intuitive.  Seems like the space bar would be a logical choice for expanding and
collapsing the tree branch.  Thanks for your bug report.  I'm putting this on
our list of future enhancements.
