You mean the standard eraser head mouse won't work? Does a ps2 mouse work if you plug one in?

and how to i open a shell or a terminal without a mouse?

ALT+F2
konsole (or xterm or whatever)

When running from the CD, there are always (4) root terminals running. Hit Ctrl-Alt-F1 thru F4 to get to them.

What make and model is your laptop?
