I just wrote a long reply to this, but Mozilla crashed.

In fact, the installer has a bug. It does not let you choose your sound driver and picks ALSA by default, but with ALSA, the mixer doesn't even work, let alone surround sound. Yet, if you run draksound after the install it seems to default to OSS. If emu10k1-tools is in contribs, it really should be moved over to main, even if Mandrake is only going to officially support ALSA, I like to at least see support for the OSS driver in the startup scripts. -- Sincerely, David Walluck <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
