Meaby 'knoppix failsave' will help.
I've got a PIII system which do not have any ps2 port for keyboard and mouse. Instead usb keybard and mouse are connected.
However knoppix does not seem to be able to detect the mouse and keyboard. Tried with nousb option during boot but does not seem to help.
Any body know how to get round this.
Meaby 'knoppix failsave' will help.
