Hmm, this may be the design of the system, but from experience I can say that I've only had one computer that wouldn't later use a mouse or keyboard if it wasn't plugged in at boot. All my systems for the last three years will happily boot with nothing plugged in and use a mouse and keyboard whenever you want to plug them in. That one system that needed the mouse/keyboard plugged in at boot was Winblows. It would work fine in Linux.
