This question is being posted as a preventive measure, before encountering trouble:
I have a UPS, constantly monitored using a 9-pin serial port connected to my computer serial COM3 port.
When booting Windows NT or 2000 or XP, a special /NoSerialMice switch in C:\boot.ini file prevents the booting operating system from trying to detect serial mice possibly connected to any COM ports, because such detection sends a DTR command to the serial port and may cause UPS premature Shutdown.
I intend to boot knoppix cd, but I have to be sure beforehand that the booting knoppix operating system will not try to detect serial mice and will not cause UPS premature Shutdown.
What preventive measures should I take?
Is there any "switch" or command available during booting in any version of knoppix cd, that will do the equivalent of the /NoSerialMice switch? Or does knoppix try to detect all hardware immediately as soon as the computer is started?
If so I may have to disconnect the UPS before booting knoppix, and then reconnect it, which is a very unwelcome recurring procedure.
Note that I use a ps/2 mouse.
Please advise.
