Hi Melvy,
You sound very nice and sincere. Maybe I can help you.
Well for sound support, you need to make sure the kernel is ready.
Look in modconf and see if you see any sound modules. You will need snd and
maybe snd-ympci.... You can use sndconfig in debian you know.
Try using alien to convert the .rpm package to a .deb package. If you have
the modules loaded then the utility should see your sound card.
Also, do a lsmod to see what you have and verify your modules.
What kernel do you have? and what version debian?
well hope it isn't too much to swallow, but it aen't like windowzs but once
up, it runs and runs and runs......
see and good luck at rit
