Re: Sound

Heh... :) Just went through almost the exact same installation myself a 
couple of days ago...

All you really need to do is check your kernel...if you roll your own,
go to the sound section, include sound support...Soundblaster stuff is
under the "additional OSS modules" section...

If you use one of the prebuilts...(not sure 'bout this, since I
roll-my-own...), you should be able to just install the sb module:
"modprobe sb irq=5 dma=1 io=0x220 dma16=5 mpu_io=0x330"
replace the argumet values with whatever is appropriate to your setup...

As that is a lot to remember, you should probably add that line to your
/etc/modules file for automatic loading at boottime... :)

% cat /proc/sound 
should give you a decent clue if the card is installed and funcitonal...
