I downloaded the install DVD and tried that. It printed "psmouse serio1:
elantech: unknown hardware version, aborting..." and stopped. I'm guessing
that's what the "aborting..." means. I also found this bugzilla against
Fedora ( https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=969473 ), so is there
any way around this (like would the net install potentially work)? Or do I
just need to wait until RHEL/CentOS 7.1 is released and hope that support
is fixed?

Also, should I open a bugzilla against RHEL or a bug against CentOS?

Thanks,
Dave
