Hi.

So what is the reason to stay away from SB AWE64? 
Especially if one has a dual-boot system?

By the way Net Express on their web page
(http://www.tdl.com/~netex/redhat/configuration.html) suggests what I
understand as an alternative way of confuguring Sound Card. And provided
they ship their systems with AWE 64 by default, described procedure should
be applicable to this particular card.

What is in contradiction with your HOWTO is they explicitly say
that sound should NOT be compiled as a module as it will default volume
and other settings each time application access audio devices.

Who's wrong?

Thanks.

Alex Y.
