Install/Mouse problem with RedHat 6.2

I just started getting into Linux and it has been a very bad experiance.
I put together a new system for the sole purpose of Linux RedHat 6.2
and Caldera ?.?. I have installed RH6.2 at least six times using four
different mice. I have tried Generic 2 button serial and PS/2 mice.
I am determined to get this darned thing to work but I need a little help
here. TIA.
