I have a touchpad, yes... I don't have Knoppix on hard drive, but
booting using expert gave me the oportunity to select my mouse protocol,
I think that that was the problem. I will look into your config. Read
some posts in ImPS/2 and I see you use ZAxisMapping, whatever that may
be... Looks like I can configure my mouse to do some nifty things that I
don't have now, ;-)

I have only 64 Mb, can't expect too much of that, can I? Also, my cd-rom
is crappy. Booting is unbearably slow (loading the kernel image and
initrd images takes a few minutes) but on other systems, it is done very
quickly. Seems like my cd-rom stays slow in knoppix, whereas in Debian,
it is pretty fast.

I like the look of Knoppix. Maybe I'll install it on my hard drive and
try to figure out what they did to the KDE themes and fonts of Mozilla
and OpenOffice. Looks very neat!
