The screenshot looks like an ncursed-based text installer.  Unless you have 
some package installed and configured, text apps don't know anything about 
your mouse, so clicking doesn't work.  You probably just had to hit tab until 
OK was highlighted, and then press enter.

For future reference.  Glad you got it working.

(I've forgotten the name of the text mode mouse thing because bad things have 
always happened to me when I set it up.  I decided I was better off without 
it.  Gmouse?  GBA?  I guess it has its hooks in me now.  Type type type, 
click click click...  OK.  It's GPM.  Not installed here, so I guess Ubuntu 
Studio doesn't ship in a state that encourages that thing, and perhaps for 
good reason.)
