Re: Installation

[YH <yh@paradise.net.nz>]

Thanks Sam, your comments are indeed helpful. Both problems have been 
resolved.

There is another problem of an error message when start x11:

Sound Server information Message:

Error while initializing the sound driver, device /dev/dsp can't be 
opened (Permission denied). The sound server will continue, using the 
null output device.

How can I fix that problem?

Thank you in advance.
