In case you're wondering, the reason for all this hassle is to get a distro the trackpad works with. However since it is a documented fact that the 2.6.x kernels have had the input devices messed around (/dev/psaux no longer works in user space) maybe I ought to just try an earlier distro like Mandrake 9.1, which I already have on CD?

Hi,
the Suse 9.1 personal is a "live" cd image, I tried one the other day, and it froze on boot anyway.
I got a knoppix 3.4 live cd instead, and that has an experimental 2.6 kernel, which seems to work fine with my Sony Vaio laptop. It is possible to do a hard drive install of the knoppix live cd but it's "not supported"
