If it's a Synaptics pad then
<code>
synclient TouchpadOff=1
</code>
can help. If it does, put that into .bash_profile or .profile of your $HOME .
I run Knoppix 4.0.2 from CD on laptop (Compaq Presario 716). I created a persistent copy of home directory on HDD. I wonder if there is a way to disable tap-to-click feature of my touchpad and keep it stored, so the system will "remember" this next time I boot from CD?

Unfortunately it didn't help. I got the following:
knoppix@3[knoppix]$ synclient TouchpadOff=1
Can't access shared memory area. SHMConfig disabled?
I looked for SHMConfig and I found that I need following line in XF86Config:
Option "SHMConfig" "on"
The problem is I cannot edit this file in live-cd distribution. Well, I also found some suggestions that
Option "MaxTapTime "0"
in /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 might help, but this is again the same problem.
Any other ideas?

Here is how I finally did it:
One must edit /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file. This must be done as a root of course. Then do the following:
1) in section "ServerLayout" add the line:
InputDevice "Synaptics" "AlwaysCore"
2) in section "Module" add the line:
Load "synaptics"
3) create the following section:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Synaptics"
Driver "synaptics"
Option "TouchpadOff" "1"
EndSection
To keep this setting when computer is rebooted one must save configuration. In KDE manager choose KNOPPIX->Configure->"Save KNOPPIX Configuration"
Then next time when Knoppix is started one should type "knoppix myconfig=...." to restore this configuration.
Thanks angor, it looks like your suggestion was more or less like this.
