From my experience installing Mandrake/Mandriva over the last ten years,, the
install process looks for a mouse, and if it does not find one it then offers
you the coice of a serial mouse, and opens a window asking you to choose a
tty port, followed by a test window where you can test if the mouse works and
clicks properly, exit, or return to the preceeding screen to try another tty.

Cheers,

Ron.
