Hello Per and Bob,
We also had some problems with the soundcard drivers, alsa, in our
industrial PC.
We cant get the audio working correctly. So if there is anything new we
should know about, it would helpfull. In this platform we use the server
installation, as described in the PSKmail home page. All seems to work but
the audio.
I tried the live server CD in another platform, using the creative
soundblaster. In this platform we had no porblems at all the get the server
on the go.
Yesterday, we did run the server all day. It also connected to the APRS in
the netherlands. There is something I don`t know what to fill in the
configuration. In the server configuration ern APRS password is asked. What
password do I fill in?

Hi Bob,
Great that you managed to use the live installer!
I was a bit worried that I hadn't covered all the dependencies for that,
boot loader was one issue. Anyway, now I know everything was in there.
Regarding your sound troubles it could be the old issue of arts, alsa
and osd fighting for your sound card. Alsa is a fairly new way of
handling sound and osd was king before that. KDE uses artsd as a layer
on top in order not to hog the sound resources completely. You could
first try to shut down the sound server kde uses, you do that through
the menu system/configuration/KDE/sound.../sound server (cant see the
menu now, should be called something along those lines).
