There were more discussions on it elsewhere in the forum. It seems that the older PCs suffer from this feature. (Mine is a AMD K6-266, 48M, 1.2GB system)
What I did can be found in User Feedback forum (another lesson learned for me)  . But I'll repeat it here for those who are newbies like me.
Ctl-Alt-Del -> Return to prompt terminal
# sudo su
# rm /dev/mouse
# ln -s /dev/ttyS0 /dev/mouse
# exit
# startx
And you're fixed, the mouse should now work. If it doesn't work, try ttyS1 or ttyS2 for the other COM ports. What happens is that you unlink the current mouse with the rm command. It can happen that no mouse was attached at all, and you'll get an error message. Just ignor this error message and execute the next line. This one will link COM1 to the mouse device, as far as I understand it.
It works now fine and I love DSL! I can now explore 0.7.
