Hey Femme

I also got both USB keyboard and mouse.  I too had problems (READ: 8 HOURS
OF INSTALL!!!!!!!!!).  I haven't had problems like this since RH 6.1!  I
just played with it for a while ( 8HOURS! ) and now I got it up and
running.  

Where in the install do your problems(USB) start?  

I had one problem where after I chose my lang(yes the very first step), I
froze.  I never even see the license screen.  I solved that by clicking on
a later step that I hadn't gotten to yet!  Then went back, and all was
good.  

I didn't even get to the update portion.  After I tested my X config
(which tested fine), my box froze.  I had to do a hard boot.  And when I
came back up, I had no control over my mouse.  I just rebooted and now
everything is just peachy.
