keyboard disable

How can disable the keyboard on startup
I'm making a Presentation CD bazed on Movix and I don't want the keyboard to be active. I don't want to recompile the kernel. I don't need to activate keyboard at any time - I need it dead.
thanks

I doin't know whether it would be suitable but you could always redirect the keyboard input to /dev/null

First, check the BIOS for the computer in question (I assume its a laptop and you can't just remove the keyboard). Some BIOSs have options to disable keyboards.

actually it's not for my computer
It's for every computer in the world and the person who ordered the CD wants the keyboard to be inactive - I don't know his reason

how can I redirect to /dev/null - I'm not a programmer, I can write little bash scripts and nothing more

I tried to recompile the kernel, but I didn't find an option for the kyeboard - perhaps I have to write my own kernel? Where's the fucken "disable in this hardware profile"?
