Hi,

Due to some other problems I can't seem to resolve, I have decided to reinstall pve.

Can I navigate the pve installation process with only my keyboard? Particularly, I don't seem to be able, on the EULA screen, to select "Accept" using my keyboard (tried <tab>, <arrow-keys>, etc.).

Background: I am using a Lantronix Spider (which used an analogue to digital video converter) as KVM solution on my server and for the EULA screen unfortunately the screen resolution is recognized incorrectly as only 800x600. This leads to the lower and right parts (where the "Accept" button is located) to be invisible and unreachable with the mouse cursor.

So I need to get to that button with the keyboard but I don't know how. Maybe it is a problem with the key strokes being transported correctly. In that case: is there any other way to get over/around the EULA page? Or can I make the pve installation use only 800x600 screen res? Or is there a text only installation method?

Thanks
 
hold "Alt" for easier keyboard navigation/button "clicking" ;)
 
That helped.

Although I couldn't see the buttons I wanted to press (and hence I didn't see the appropriate keys), with some screenshots of the installation from the internet and some additional guessing where the screenshots didn't help, I was able get through the installation.

Thank you!
