Hi Bob, Good news on the beacon! Perhaps you could get an even better signal from home? Ok on the sound issue. I have looked a bit at that and one of the pages I found had a bunch of stuff in conf.modules added. That page is here: http://www.levien.com/tp600.html It should certainly be possible to get sound on a real install, with the live cd it could be difficult. If I alter the live cd then I don't know if it will work with anything else. Yes, its possible to relase an iso that can install. I have so far not included that and the reason being that it will mess up someones harddisk (as you said). Dont get me wrong here, draklive-install (as its called) is really easy to use and works well. Its just that murphys law will cause problems somewhere and if I don't include it then murphy stays away. While I'm thinking about getting draklive-install in there you can perform the install anyway (if you are in a hurry) :-) This should apply: http://www.mandrivaclub.nl/site/index.php?showtopic=6914 I will include draklive-install in the next beta. 73 de Per, sm0rwo
