I'm trying to use harddrake to install/configure my soundcard. It gives me options of "Terratec Soundsystem Base 1" and "Terratec Soundsystem Base 1/ MIDI", which are ISA and using modules ad1816 and mpu401 respectively. For my card (Shark Predator ISA with Waveblaster) it seems correct. But it doesn't autodetect the correct port or the FM device. And the install doesn't actually work at all. It gives an error "modprobe: Can't locate module isa-pnp". My modem is one of those hardware PCI Actiontecs. I know the kernel can't detect them yet (had to manually modprobe). It does work when set up through Draknet, but I get several minor annoyances: "Dialup Options" doesn't reread the old configuration and I have to type in everything again each time; it doesn't seem to configure some things (giving nonroot users permission to connect, using a different init string, whether to redial when disconnected, whether to log the commands sent to/from the modem); cancelling can sometimes cause a core dump. Also, how should I start PPP? I've been using "ifup ppp0", which certainly works, but there has to be some graphical interface that doesn't require Gnome or KDE. Does anyone know if "locate" is in the distribution anywhere? (I actually use it.) Minor bug: The startup screen with the text logo claims I have "One 850 Mhz AMD AMD Athlon Processor Processor 127M RAM". The repetition of the words AMD and Processor make the line overflow onto the next line, ruining the logo. (What should I do to report minor bugs like this anyway?) Supermount seems to be causing me problems. I've gotten a kernel panic from various combinations of mounting, unmounting, switching disks, and supermount.
