Serial mice seem to have a few problems in FC2 which they didn't have in redhat 7 (hey, these machines had been gathering dust for so long, they missed out on 8.0, 9 and fc1): the serial mouse only works through gpm. So, you will have to have the gpm service running to use the mouse. Two problems with that: 1) gpm doesn't run during installation, so either choose an installation in text mode, or navigate the graphical anaconda with the keyboard (almost everything is doable without the mouse) 2) no mouse during the graphical boot (rhgb) until the moment gpm gets started. Usually not a problem. David Jansen Note at 1) Is there a way from the keyboard to make a selection from a pulldown menu in the graphical version of anaconda? The only thing I could not do on these machines was create a swap partition in the manual disk druid configuration (workaround in case you encounter the same problem: switch to virtual console 2 and run fdisk from there before running disk druid)
