[ale] Knoppix

[Van L. Loggins]

Don't quote me on this, but I think that feature would most likely be configured by most versions of linux as a wheel mouse because the scroll feature would be implemented as a wheel on most mice. I am not really sure but it would seem that way anyhow.

when the knoppix cd boots up to the prompt before it actually loads try pressing F2 
and see if there is an option that you can pass to it about a wheel mouse. 
I seem to remember seeing one for that.
