Hah, that was a joke based on my past experiences with
PPC Linux, rather than a "bug report" for Mandrake.
(sound seems to work fine on my iBook2). But I'm glad
to know that you care about sound - which is not the
case with the developers of some other distros!

I do need to get back to you about something that does
not work, however. Do you recall that my system was
hanging on the SECOND reboot after install, on a line
called "Checking internet connections to start at
boot"?

I have been able to repeat this problem again and
again on this system. During the install, Mandrake
picks up my ethernet and airport, and offers to
configure both. I choose DHCP. 

On the first boot, 'determining IP info for eth0' and
'determining IP info for eth1' both fail, but
otherwise, the boot process goes normally and the
system can be used. 

On the NEXT boot, 'determining IP info for eth0' and
'determining IP info for eth1' both fail, and about 10
lines later, there is a line that says "checking
internet connections to start at boot". It's right
under the lines that say: "starting portmon" and
"starting console mouse services". I left it on
overnight to make sure - it just stays on that line
forever. 

Now, I know that the failure to get IP addresses is
'my' problem - something that doesn't work right with
the Airport base station. The part about "checking
internet connections to start at boot", however -
something needs to change there, especially on
portable computers that may/may not get IPs depending
on their location. 

Let me know if you need more detail about this. 

Thanks, 

Justin
