Please try a TUI based install, or use a mouse with the install. There should be
no bad consequences of having a mouse detected.

Comment 2 Florian Effenberger 2002-10-01 15:17:10 EDT

TUI install? You mean the graphical installer?

Comment 3 Michael Fulbright 2002-10-03 15:36:28 EDT

Sorry - I mean boot the installer with the command line 'linux text'.

Comment 4 Florian Effenberger 2002-10-03 15:43:20 EDT

No problem :)

I did install in text mode, and then that error occured.

Comment 5 Dag Wieers 2002-10-04 19:26:16 EDT

Doing a graphical install with No mouse selected,
X won't start and anaconda will fail and bail out.

Although if I do the graphical install and I fake
that I have a serial mouse on COM1. It works.

Note that a graphical install without a mouse DOES work,
although the installer advices against it.

Maybe, if No mouse is selected,
it could 'fake' a serial mouse on COM1 ?

I believe this is fixed in our internal tree.

I'm going through Bugzilla closing some bugs that have been marked as Modified

so I'm resolving these bugs as Rawhide.  If the bug you are seeing still exists,
please reopen this report and mark it as Reopened.
