Just got a new Dell D600 (company issued), installed Mandrake10 CE. Everything works OK now - did have issues with sound and network, the sound card is a SigmaTel one that is identified by Linux as an Intel 8280IDB AC'97 , other distros install the latest sound drivers for it (snd_intel8x0) works fine, Mandrake's same driver causes howling from the machine, specifying the i810_audio driver instead works fine.

tell me to run a series of commands, and I've done these, but the
results are cryptic:
