Hi Ben - Unforunately, TKLA does not do the hardware configuration on its own. Mandrake usually does an excellent job (and the favored sound modules, ALSA, are available by default, though they often need to be setup in /etc/modules.conf).
There is an ALSA tutorial for Mandrake available on the TKLA website's docs page. It goes step-by-step through ALSA modules configuration. There are also excellent docs on the ALSA page. If you need to check for the appropriate module for your card, see the ALSA soundcard matrix on the alsa-project.org page. The failure of program installation is another issue, which may be anything from a lack of installed development tools (automake, etc), to a matter of running the installer with appropriate permissions (as root). I am happy to help with any ot these. Kevin --- bent <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I'm hoping someone can help me... I'm having a bitch > of a time getting > TKLA to work.
