****My opinion of knoppix*****
My first try with knoppix (in doubt it would be good I might add) was yesterday. This is the best damn linux on the planet. How come no other linux could do this well with an HD install? BTW, I've used Redhat 6.2, 6.2, 7, 8, Mandrake 6,7,9, and the Latest debian. My bro who despises linux because of it's inability to have things willing to work easily, loves knoppix.
I like the fact that it auto detects all of my hardware and works fine, yet other *nix's have uses with getting something to work right.
****Actual question****
Anyway, my question is, how did knoppix get my mouse (logitech USB wireless Optical) to work so well? Every distro i've tried won't work with my scroll wheel, and I tried everything I can find, but knoppix has no problem.
I'd like to be able to get it to work in other distro's too, does anyone know how to do so? I'm using knoppix 3.2 cd. I'm going to toy with an hd install later.
Oh yeah, I also have an issue with getting one of my ntfs partitions to work, the "mount" command gives me the error that it either has a bad super block or to many fs' mounted, even tho i can mount and unmount my other partitions fine (i tried unmounting all my non essential partitions and mounting that).
Thanx,
Dguy
