    I'm installing SuSE 9.2 (I also tried 9.1) on a PC.
    he installation seemed to recognize the mouse the fisrt time I launched it
    (PCS) It's a 2-button and central wheel optic mouse with serial interface
    (I guess) in fact its plug is green and similar to the keyboard plug.
    It's not a USB interface.
    The first installation was interrupted by a power failure while reading
    the 4th CD (it had already gone throigh the 1st, 2nd,3rd CD). By mistake I
    touched the power cord with my feet under the desk ..I tried to lo launch
    SuSE from the hard disk. It started with the login dialog. Unluckily I
    only had configured the root user and no othe ones.
    I restarted the simulation from scratch reloading from the CD 1 but since
    then it never recognized the mouse any more. So I cannot make any choice
    from the installation menus without the mouse as the arrow keys do not
    jump over the listed menu choices ...
    What am I supposed to do ????

    Thank you in advance for your help,
    Maura
