[PVE-User] ISO Installer Needs Mouse?

Hi All,



Using CD ISO or USB installer, I have to hook up a mouse to accept the terms
of use. No keyboard input tab/space/enter does anything on the first page of
the installer. After I use the mouse to click on the first page, I can
complete the rest of the installer using the keyboard.



Is this particular to my hardware, can others complete the installer without
the use of a mouse? I'm using recent 5.1 ISO on a USB boot drive, Dell 1950
servers, USB keyboard, USB mouse.



Thanks.



JR

I tested in a VM, I was able to hit Tab and arrow down until I could scroll
the EULA (you know, to read it... :-) ) and then I had to use Shift + Tab
twice to highlight the Accept button where I could then hit Enter to
continue.

So seems possible, it's just a matter of playing with a combo of Tab and
Shift+Tab.
