No. One must merely exercise some care when one is selecting
hardware. This is much like the burden to avoid the like of
ATI and their 'poor drivers'. The net effect is still the same.

This machine that I am typing on here (NTW/4) was a simple RH 5.2

Subject: Success with on-board Yamaha OPL3-SA3 sound system
Date: Mon, 21 Jun 1999 18:48:49 GMT
After a lot of flailing around, I found (via deja.com) a pointer to
an unlikely website that had the vital information:
http://www.xss.co.at/laptops/asusP6300/stepbystep.html#audio
which is about Asus laptop installation. Apparently the Asus
laptops use the same sound system that came with my Dell Dimension
XPS D266 on the motherboard.
When I did the RedHat 6.0 vanilla load from CD-ROM I included
multimedia support. The CD-ROM player found the CD drive, but no
sound came out, even though it looked like it was playing. I
also have an ethernet card on the system, an NE2000 clone, and I
got it to work by adding a couple of magic lines to the file
/etc/conf.modules. I decided to try the easiest thing I could
think of: I just added the following lines to /etc/conf.modules:
alias char-major-14 opl3sa2
pre-install opl3sa2 modprobe "-k" "ad1848"
post-install opl3sa2 modprobe "-k" "opl3"
options opl3sa2 io=0x370 mss_io=0x530 mpu_io=0x330 irq=5 dma=0
dma2=7
options opl3 io=0x388
copied directly from the web site, and then rebooted. Everything
loaded, everything worked.
The command lsmod gives the following output:
Module Size Used by
opl3 11208 0 (autoclean)
opl3sa2 3720 0 (autoclean)

There have been several inquiries in this newsgroup about getting this

As for the hanging on boot, i would just set your bios to boot

On this point, I keep coming back to certain devices: If you have a Winprinter,
you're up the creek if you move to Linux. (Trust me. I have an HP 820Cse.
I know about these things. ;))
And even those fixes that *are* available (through ghostscript or ppa2pbm, for

There's no MCSE needed to fix most Windows problems. Most of the driver
issues boil down to the same thing in both OS's: If your driver flat-out just
doesn't work, you're up the creek. (Of course I'm speaking of the average
user. If you're able to write your own driver, all bets are off.) And in
Windows, the basic rule of thumb is, if your driver doesn't work, you can at
least go with whatever defaults there are for your device. I had to install my
56K modem as a "Standard Modem" and then turn the compression up to 115400, for
example. And if you've got an MCSE, you're not an average user, anyway.
If you look at sales, Windows outsells Linux by a wide margin. (I think we
can all concede that.) The fact that a specific company that sells Unix boxes
was mentioned lends credence to the point that you have to look pretty hard to
find an off the shelf Unix box. In most situations, if a user is going to be
installing a new OS, they're going to go from Windows 95 to something else. If
that "something else" is Unix, they've got a long road ahead of them. Drives
aren't even referred to the same way in Unix as in DOS. While it's a minor
point, it can add to a novice's confusion.
Another point I'd like to make: I upgraded my kernel last night, and it was
way more difficult than anything Windows ever put me through. The upgrade had
at least 12 steps to it, none of which are handled programatically or even
cued. The whole process took about an hour and a half the first time, after
which I discovered I hadn't included PPP in the kernel, and therefore couldn't
get out on the net. So I tried again. And again. Finally I realized I was
missing a step and had to do it one more time. I started the process at around
12 and didn't finish until 4:30. How does that compare with installing a
Service Pack? (which kernel upgrades are roughly equivalent to) Windows has a
big jump on Unix when it comes to usability, and the novice benefits from it.
It's only when the user outgrows the novice stage that they realize what they
give up for that usability. But to say that Unix is just as easy to install as
Windows is silliness.
Once it's installed, Linux might be a better OS for the novice user, because
things are less likely to break down than under Windows. BUT that's only
provided the user can understand how things work in the first place (including
how to deal with /etc/fstab). Therefore, when you say Linux is good for
novices, I think you need to make a distinction between maintenance-free
(provided you never upgrade the kernel) and easy to use. While Linux might have
fewer maintenance problems, it's ease of use needs serious improvement before
it's "easy to install" (which this thread is supposed to be about, anyway).
Every OS has some driver issues. I'll concede that. And driver issues are
a pain in the ass in every OS. I'll concede that, too. But device for device,
you're going to have less problems at the novice level with Windows. Plus,
there are just more drivers out there.

Date: 21 Jun 1999 15:59:28 GMT
ATTM (According to the manual):
The VA-503+ will only support a 100MHz memory bus using the 4x
multiplier for the 400 MHz AMD K6-2. You could, of course, clock
*down* to 366 where the memory bus will run just fine at 66MHz.
NB: One of the most attractive features of this board is the numerous
jumper settings which allow one to overclock easily. I don't want to
spur a debate on this here as I'm certain that others have indeed been
successful in running a 400MHz chip w/ a 66MHz memory bus on this
board. On the contrary, I wanted to point out that the configuration
which you desire is *not* supported according to the manual. (Page
