Hi, I was told that I would need a USB Keyboard and Mouse to install and use Leopard on my machine. However, I only have a USB keyboard, and not a USB mouse. Is there anyway I can make the installation and operating system itself work with PS/2 compliant devices? Please let me know. Thank you all very much for the support.

*Please give special instructions if the resolution involves a lengthy process. Thanks.
