Stuck on Leopard install because of bluetooth keyboard on mac mini

[discosoap]

Hi all,

I just bought a second hand intel mac mini (1.66 core duo) and got a new hard drive as well. I booted a Leopard dmg from my firewire ipod without a hassle to install a fresh copy of Osx. After the introscreen (the one with welcome in many languages) Leopard needs some personal data from me, but for input we need a keyboard. I have an Apple bluetooth keyboard and mighty mouse, but both are not instantly recognised on startup to my surprise. This means I am stuck installing Leopard, as I can't enter my personal data and get on with it. Please, some help would be greatly appreciated

Sorry, figured it out myself (and didn't know how to remove this post, that's why you're reading this edit). Just restart a mac idiot, just restart it....Dohh.. Thanks anyway ;-)

I don't have a mac, or a bluetooth keyboard and might mouse... But, I did read online on the Apple Store that you need to install software on your Mac before the keyboard will work, meaning that you need a USB keyboard to be able to setup with wireless mouse etc.

http://www.apple.com/uk/keyboard/

Scroll down to the bit just below the Buy button and look on the wireless side, it says:
System Requirements

Mac computer with Bluetooth wireless technology
Mac OS X v10.4.10 or later
Keyboard software update
Existing keyboard and mouse for initial setup
Three AA batteries (included)

Hope this helped, sorry if I'm totally wrong lol
