[debian-knoppix] PS/2 mouse and hard drive question

[Stephen Liu <satimis@writeme.com>]

Hi all,

I am running Knoppix 3.1 to introduce Linux to my friends and expect to 
have advice from the List on following problem and question.

1) PS/2 mouse
I ran Knoppix 3.1 on a Windows PC and it did not detect the PS/2 mouse 
which ran without problem on Windows environment.  I plugged in a USB mouse 
then it worked.  I tested another PS/2 mouse with the same result, not 
being detected.  I ran Xconfigurator and following command prompted:

bash : Xconfigurator : command not found.

2) Hard drive
In order to protect the hard drive of a Windows PC avoiding a mishap, I 
disconnected its power cable.  Could disable detecting hard disk from BIOS 
has the same effect.  The latter arrangement is more convenient without 
opening the PC box.

Thanks in advance.

Stephen Liu
