Disabling touchpad on laptop

Mon Jan 22 02:06:11 UTC 2007

I've got a Dell 6400 / E1505 laptop. The great engineers at Dell put
the touchpad so close to the keyboard that I'm hitting it every five
minutes by mistake. Is there and _easy_ way to enable/disable it? Like
a keyboard shortcut, hardware button, or panel applet (KDE)?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
