You missed the point Thomas. I have a mouse. I want that touchpad totally and absolutely nuked, as if it is just an odd colored piece of plastic in the panel that does absolutely nothing. This particular version of the pad control, called tpconfig I think, is so confused that disabling the touchpad tabs scrolling also disables the mouse wheel. But its moot. I am now trying to get lubuntu 14.04-2 LTS to start the install, but its stuck looking for a network connection it will never find because there is not a dhcpd running anyplace on my local network, which isn't in the 192.168.1 block. And no way to nuke network-mangler long enough to edit and commit the correct network configs to make it Just Work(TM) I am out of patience with that network destroyer. If I could reach into the dvd and burn out the space occupied by it, I would in a millisecond. Thanks for the reply Thomas.
