Everything is fine before the test phase, and just dandy after the back-and-forth cycle I have to go thru. Just the test screen is funky. But I've -never- had the system lock up from the mouse test. > I, for one, would like to see it fixed. > > Also, the mouse itself came as USB, but I'm using the PS/2 adapter if same here, but I have the same problem with a real PS2 mouse. I would have no problem with the mouse even being disabled until the test screen since that seems to fix the problem, but that just seems kind of cheesy for a modern OS distribution. But the main problem here (I think), is that having install "fail" where you can't even configure the mouse is probably going to stop a significant number of first time users from trying to finish the install. --john
