Try typing "knoppix 2" at the boot prompt (without the quotes). This will work for both DSL liveCD and for Knoppix liveCD.

It will then boot you into the textmode command line.

If you are stuck in graphics mode without a working mouse, you can exit Xwindows by pressing CTL-ALT-BACKSPACE keys.

Then edit your xsetup file (I think it is now located in /opt directory somewhere) to try and fix the mouse problem.

To retry XWindows again, type "startx".

Good Luck.

the only way i can get the mouse to work is to boot into expert and configure the mouse as microsoft serial.  I'd like to install DSL to my HD so i don't have to do this anymore but im having trouble witht that too. (im going to post that up in the HD install thread) but the mouse works for now under expert. thanks for the help.
