ydl 2.3 /dev/mouse sym link for iBook-2

[Jeb Bolding]

Login as root or su to root and edit:

/etc/rc.local

Add the line at the end:

ln -s /dev/input/mice /dev/mouse

This works for me. Unfortunately, YDL unlinks the symlink when you plug a
USB mouse in and then unplug it. This command forces it after the
"discovery" part of the login.
