Hello (and please excuse my bad English)
I am trying to install Puppy Linux 5.2.5 on an old Pentium II PC with a classic serial Logitech mouse.
When I boot in normal mode, an error shows up just before the loading of X-Window. Therefore, I am not able to see it for more that one second.
The error looks like : "/etc/oldmousebutton Folder does not exist"
I imagine that my mouse was properly detected but that the path of the correct driver was mistyped by the developpers.
But I am a total newbie when it comes to configuring Linux... Unfortunately, I have been unable to find a way to correct the bug, or to install the mouse manually. Could you please help me or just send me a link to a page explaining something I could try ? Thanks a lot in advance !

So, X starts, but you have no mouse movement. Then type CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE to kill X, then type:
# xorgwizard
You will see an option to test X, and an option to change the mouse and choose a serial mouse.
Puppy does not auto-detect a serial mouse, it has to be selected manually.
