Go to http://opensource.creative.com/ and download the EMU10K1 Project. It includes a file /usr/local/etc/emu-script or something like that. Edit, run, rejoice, put in startup scripts. I used to have 4 speaker sound in mdk, then lost it after a cooker upgrade (prolly kernel, dunno). After installing the stuff from the creative opensource page it works again. Also, on a sidenote... And by no means intended to start a flame war or something like that, but how come so many stuff in cooker is broken, or breaks things which previously worked? My fonts change from unreadably small to horribly huge after a MandrakeUpdate, my belgian keyboard switches from a state where it can produce a tilde to where it can't (in X; only the tilde seems affected), stuff that used to work suddenly doesn't work anymore, new libs which should obsolete older ones conflict instead of obsoleting and removing them from the system, icons disappear and after another upgrade reappear... sometimes... All of a sudden since upgrading my kdelibs my kvirc stops working and can't be found on the mirrors anymore either (ok, ok, I got the warning that there were incompatibilities and clicked "force", not a good idea, but why does it have to break in the first place?)... Yeah, sure, I read the disclaimer, I know cooker is not "production-ready", but hey, I got debian boxes at home which run on the "unstable" (sid) branch and guess what: they don't fuck up. Now I don't want to start a distro war here, I like mandrake, but I'd like to see a way of keeping my system up to date with the latest software releases without slowly tearing it apart in the process. Cooker is definately not it; too many things go wrong whenever you try to keep it up to date. Seems like some mdk cooker packagers are just sloppy and don't even check their upgraded packages, or otherwise I just missed some basic howto-knowledge on MandrakeUpdate and Cooker use... I hope it's the latter; in that case someone can enlighten me and I might learn from my mistakes. -- Rial Juan <http://nighty.ulyssis.org> e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ: 20135549 MSN: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Belgium tel: ++3289856533 cellular: ++32496737018 ulyssis student services <http://www.ulyssis.org> This message will self-destruct when raped by leprechauns...
