For $13 you can get a Logitech M305 Nano Wireless at Best Buy.
I think this beats a touchpad any day.
Thanks to you guys pointing me at solutions for the touchpad problem. I knew there would be one because I had to play similar tricks on another distro. I wasn't sure whether you could edit xorg.conf with Knoppix because (a) I am not sure if it was autogenerated anyway with this latest Xorg and (b) I am not sure if Knoppix regenerated it on each bootup so making any changes obsolete next time. Might try the synclient approach.
Regarding the home cheat code. I tested this by creating an image file and putting a file in it with my poor man's install on a hard drive. I then tried to access this image file when booting the Live CD. I could not see the file I had put in it so I guess home was not working. I deduce that the answer to utu's question is that home doesn't work in conditions that do not involve a USB install.
If home is difficult to implement now it should be removed from the list of cheat code that comes on the Live CD.
My observation is that PARTS of the xorg.conf appear to be recalculated on bootup, while others are "remembered" (not always correctly.) My regular system/monitor configuration gets messed up every time I de-boot it, and I have to re-initialize to get the correct resolution set at the beginning of each session. If I simply remove power, the ext-test/fixer is perforce activated, but that's a small partition so not much time wasted; then the resolution is (usually) calculated correctly. I've tried to get the Synaptics thing to work (be remembered) on my laptop in the past, with mixed results.
Cheers!
