Hi All,
I am wondering if anyone can help me with a newbie question.
I have Knoppix running as a HD install in Vmware. It runs well.
The question I have is when it was a live cd, I could use the cheatcodes to enable the wheelmouse, dma support, etc. I am wondering if I would get a significant speed boost from having the dma flag enabled (I have a IDE 133/40Gb disk on Winxp pro host) and how do I do that?
I can probably fix the wheelmouse by reconfiguring X but I don't know how to enable DMA, especially for later when I do a real HD install.
Thank you for your time.
