Thanks, Christian.

But, more important than this mouse issue:

When I am asked for either local or UTC time at the end of the installation 
the BIOS clock should be UNTOUCHED in case of me chosing "NO", i. e. chosing 
local time.
This is quite logical and would avoid lots of difficulties with the fucked up 
filesystem (bad superblock at next boot!).

So please do not forget to report this counterproductive timer issue as a bug.
