Downloaded and installed all the files listed plus the updated isapnp-tools file from
cooker and
ran lothar from the gnome desktop. and yes I think gnome support would be a realy good
thing! I
don't like KDE and use gnome exclusivly;)
Still no luck on the sound card though my AWE 64 is not detected in lothar, when i
click on the
soundcard tab, it shows nothing and there is no "run configuration tool" like there is
in the
ethernet card spot wich btw was correctly detected (AMD PCI 32)
