I have joined LinuxQuestions.org. I am from India, a freelance writer, and author.

The interest in Linux grew because I wanted to assemble a simple robot (Light Following) for my granddaughter.

The project was interesting, but my main problem was programming, which is new to me and have not attempted so far.

Fedora Core has a lot of features and wanted to install to learn Linux, the most popular language growing every day.

This is the first time I am installing FC5.

First testing of the CDs was done and all CDs passed the test.

The BIOS setting of the system was changed to boot from CD-ROM drive.

System started with CD1in the drive.

Fedora Core Screen appeared, the installation ENTER was clicked.

After configuring the keyboard, the disk partition screen appeared.

UNFORTUNATELY, MY MOUSE DID NOT WORK.

Without the mouse it is not possible to carry on the installation and had to abort.

THE MOUSE IS WORKING FINE WITH WINDOWS XP.

What could be the reason and how should I proceed further to solve this problem.

Could anyone guide me?

Waiting for your reply

I too have installed Fedora Core 5 (x86-64) and got the same results as you.

I just bought a PC from Hewlett Packard with an AMD x2 4200 processor. It works great with Windows XP and SuSE Linux 10.1 (x86-64).

Try installing SuSE 10.1. No problem with the mouse showing up and working as it should.

I'll wait for the mouse problem to be straightened out and then I'll reload the updated Fedora version.

Hope This helps.

Sincerely
