Or, of course, use text mode. The graphics are pretty, but if you can't
handle text mode, you probably shouldn't be installing an operating
system.

(That sounds elitist, but honestly, if someone able-bodied can't even
use a keyboard, then they probably don't understand the very basics of
what an OS is or why you should want to install one.)

There may be, I suppose, certain disabilities that make it possible for
someone to use a pointing device, but not a keyboard. I suspect anaconda
would need to be re-written to support on-screen keyboards for them).
