If the keyboard is working, you can still use the xsetup menu.

Just use the UP and DOWN arrow keys and the ENTER key to make your selections.

I did an install (boot from floppy) on a Compaq p200 with a cordless USB mouse and it worked fine when I booted but after I ran xsetup it stopped working. This is my wifes machine running win 98 and I was only using DSL to get the USB burner to work so I didn't fool around with it too much. It did work though at the start and was recognized by DSL at startup.

When you start up is the mouse recognized as a cordless USB mouse?

no but in xsetup.sh it will ask you if you have a usb mouse...so setting it that way should work
