 Having found a mostly reliable workaround for the FlushCache problem,
 the installer for RC2 is now booting without recognizing mouse clicks.
 ABout 2/3 of the time it will move the mouse pointer but won't accept any
 button presses.


 BTW, do you already have a bug open about the mouse click issue?  I'll add
 to it and if not I'll go open one.


i didn't report it in bugzilla.

Seems to be similar to my problem I reported already:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=622694

 
 i didn't report it in bugzilla.

 I had the opportunity to make a choice.  Anaconda presented a two-panel
 display that listed the drives it found on the left panel, and a
 convenient mechanism to select which drives I wanted to use for
 installation that moved those entries to the right panel.  This is a very
 welcome improvement to what I thought was messy in earlier versions of
 Fedora.

 When installation drives are listed on the right panel, there was a flag
 at the start of an item that I checked to select where the boot loader
 should be written.

 There may be other paths for installation that do not offer a choice
 about where to write the boot loader, but that is what I saw.  F14 RC1
 booted successfully for me.

There is also an opportunity to specify the location on the grub 
installation screen as well as the BIOS drive order.

 Spotted it in its usual place. May have overlooked it earlier.

   Strangely enough, the netinst iso install works just fine with the mouse
I'm using but when I booted the DVD iso, I found the same issue you've found
where the mouse moves but I can't click.  If I right click a button it
actually highlights the button.  I had to use tab and enter through the
whole install.  I haven't messed with this bug yet because I'm working on
reporting another issue where the system fails to boot after install.  I've
got a T500 so I'm using the little red trackpoint for my mouse.

i reported (on this list) a similar behaviour in 19 august 2010. i used f12
to step further to the next screen.

If you boot an F14 live image do you see the same issue?

I'll have to try a live image... but I did netinst first and the mouse
clicks worked just fine.  I would have noticed if the mouse clicks didn't
because hitting tabs and space drives me nuts.  Feels like the old
non-graphical installer again :-).

Try booting all three a few times. It could simply be an intermittent
bug which you happened to see on one but not the other. I think all the
relevant packages are the same between DVD and netinst, so it would be
odd for to happen on one but not the other.

It's definitely intermittent.  I finally got an RC2 install done after 7
attempts.
