Probing for video card: ATI Rage Mobility Probing for monitor type: Unable to probe Probing for mouse type: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/anaconda", line 427 in ? mousehw.probe (frob = 1) File "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/rhpl/mouse.py", line 191, in probe self.set("No mouse") File "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/rhpl/mouse.py", line 229, in set (gpm, x11, dev, em, shortname) = self.mice[mouse] KeyError: No mouse install exited abnormally This system has a PS/2 mouse connected via a Belkin KVM switch. The Belkin switches are notorious for sometimes (very randomly) failing probe operations -- the mouse works, but if the OS probes, it won't "smell right" and therefore not get detected. Obviously, the proper action is to either fall back on a keyboard-based install or (better) give the user a menu to choose what mouse type is present (which may be "none".)

Jeremy this is fixed correct?
Yes (don't remember the other bug # off the top of my head, though)
no mouse installs work fine for me (falls back to text) CLOSED->RAWHIDE
