Only marketing departments could find a way of making a product more attractive on the basis of removing a feature and then marketing the product at a market that already considered it irrelevant.
It's been moved from userspace to kernel space. I guess there's some technical reasons as to why this is a worthy move, but it has given a lot of people problems. Hopefully this is a one off and it'll be ironed out soon.
Heh... didn't expect to be using/. for troubleshooting, thanks for the suggestions guys.
I do know about the new/dev/input/mice and I've enabled events in my kernel, along with all the other suggestions. I've learnt a heck of a lot, but as yet, this is unsolved.
...laptop touchpad don't bother going near 2.6 if you don't know exactly what you're doing. I still haven't got the mouse working. I can't even find anyone who can tell me how to confirm if the touchpad is a synaptic.
I agree. It said some bull about what was good about Mepis (which I was particularly interested in because I love it)... then the only line in there about why they chose Knoppix over Mepis was that Knoppix 'provides a better user experience.'
Uh yeah, sure.
It might not have been relevant to the review, but the main reason I prefer Mepis over Knoppix is that on a hard disk install apt-get is screwed with Knoppix because of some directory structure, etc changes... but it works a dream with Mepis.

There is no "ineligible receiver" downfield rule in REAL football (and the fact that I don't know what it means to American football only highlights the offside rule separating English/Americans - you're half English, of course you know what it is.)
uninteligble [sic] yeah:))...let me guess, that's the spelling on and off the North American continent?:p
If anyone wants cannon fodder for episteme - he's half American. (Sorry Jamie, kinda).
Yes, every English male under the Sun knows how the offside law works, and I'd bet that not very many American men do - what else is he supposed to ask? For an ascii image of his passport?

...if the laptop touchpad issues have been addressed since 2.6.3 - or if they're going to be?
far too much to come up with that.

I'm not the only one suffering this.
Works great on my slackware desktop.

I can't stand sisoft sandra, for a variety of reasons. It reminds me of norton software with that bloaty feel.
I prefer AIDA32.
Stick a webserver on it and /. it.

You can cut at least 4GBP off the 500k with www.plus.net - and for everyone else you refer to them you get 50p a month off that.

Tip of the day: for added prettiness, set Nimbus Sans L as your default font. Then watch people gape and go 'ooooh!'
Not a huge amount of difference, but definately a good tip, cheers!

Why? Only a kid really at 18 and it's not like anyone's going to get anything back from the blaster mess.
You're a fool if it effected you anyway.
