Comment 1 Matt Wilson 2001-09-04 10:16:26 EDT

if you have the mouse attached during bootup, does this work?

Comment 2 Heinz Deinhart 2001-09-04 11:26:22 EDT

yes it does (as i wrote above)
so its no showstopper

Comment 3 Jeremy Katz 2001-09-05 19:56:55 EDT

Not something that can be handled without hotplug support in anaconda
