Odds are you'd have problems if you can't use mouse or keyboard until after the operating system is installed. I'd think again; it is much safer to have PS/2 mouse and keyboard ports.
Maybe someone on the list knows of a success in installing Linux with only a USB mouse/keyboard. Of course you might install Linux on your hard drive on another system and then move it to your new one.
