cant install Ubuntu netbook

So the problem isn't that you can't install Ubuntu; it's that you have no mouse pointer?

Can you restore the mouse pointer by switching to a terminal and back, i.e. by pressing Ctrl+Alt+F6, then Ctrl+Alt+F7?

And as a handy bit of info for future installations, you probably could have saved yourself all that downloading and burning by checking the hash and verifying the disc.

Which netbook version, 10.04?
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UNR
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick

Or the testing version?

You wont see anything when typing a password in a terminal.

There is no mouse pointer in a terminal (it's not a GUI (graphical interface), but there should be a cursor (blinking).

Which isn't btw. a good idea, if that means really *for everything*.
However, usually the password you setup during installation is the same which you login and for terminal usage, e.g. administration.
