  I don't have USB mouse or keyboard, and my USB ports are used for
other things.

  Not yet.

  No, and I won't be doing that. Knoppix was a "live" cd, and worked fine.
I have three different BL installations and one based on RedHat - they
have all failed to find the mouse.

  It seems to me that the problem would be solved by getting those Linux
distros to re-set the existing serial mouse. My question was how to go
about that in BL.
