Well, thanks for the comments guys! I'll have to save the
message away. It's a Crystal board. I know that Knoppix had no
trouble finding nor my SuSE 7.3 --- well mostly without trouble.
Cheapbytes sales the downloadable versions of these programs,
hence the name Pink Tie for their Red Hat distro.
I'm almost sure that Mandrake told me to use sndconfig, as did the
Pink Tie thing which I think had a Cheapbytes installer, unless
Anaconda is the Red Hat installer.
Hmmm, Draksound? I'll have to see if that's around. In my older
SuSE it had to be rebooted to get the right sound and then I
noticed i grabbed my mouse interupt, which made the sound work ok
but the mouse didn't work! However, after I told the installer
which interrupts I wanted used I have had no trouble with my
interrupts and went back to my golden oldie which makes a point of
supporting dosemu and freedos (I use some D.O.S. programs very
extensively.)
Anyway, I don't know why sndconfig is still around, I know it is
ancient and no, I didn't hear Linus say anything or what I did
hear was not recognizable. Anyway, the comments from you guys may
give others some thoughts on what is happening.
I think I'll have to get yet another computer to play around with
different distros with Linux, I have to admit when I get something
setup and it's working the way I like, I loose the urge to
experiment. ---Jim
