Christmas Gift...help ASAP

[CrazyJerry]

This is my first time using KNOPPIX or linux for that matter. I am installed KNOPPIX on a 266 PII 64mb RAM and a 6 gig hard drive. This laptop is gutted. I installed on another system and moved this hdd here, becuase this laptop doesn't have a floppy or cd-rom. install works and boots. I can hookup an external keyboard to the ps/2 port, and usb ports. When I pulg a mouse into either one the mouse won't work. That's pretty much my problem.


Thank in advance,
CrazyJerry

Your currently installed on 64MB of ram? Did you try a USB mouse or even a serial mouse?

[CrazyJerry]

Yes I am Currently installed on 64 megs of ram witha swap file of 900megs.



I have tried both a PS/2 and a USB mouse, niether are working. I had removed the serial connection becuase it was going to get in the way of my enclosure.

Try boot using different kernel and see if it work.
