It should be in your notebook where you keep a record of these

Try man sndconfig. It should explain how to run sndconfig to setup
your sound board. You should get something like this in your
/etc/conf.modules when you are done:
alias sound sb
pre-install sound insmod sound dmabuf=1
alias midi opl3
options opl3 io=0x388
options sb io=0x220 irq=5 dma=1 mpu_io=0x330
You probably do not want to just copy mine, since your system may be
different, but they might work.

Well, there isn't a solution anywhere else! What you are saying is "I

What config programs? Give data, not chinese puzzles.
Look, it's perfectly simple. The sound howto will tell you how to
identify your card. If it really is an ISA SB16 PnP (which I doubt!)
then all you have to do is run pnpdump and take it from there, as
per the instructions in the howtos you mentioned.
At which point in the sequence do you find that the results do not
accord with what is expected? Are you not able to get any
output from pnpdump? Are you not able to create a file using that
output? Are you not able to edit the file? Are you not
able to run isapnp over it? Are you not able to edit conf.modules
to reflect the parameters you entered and set with isapnp?
Did you forget to set the bios to allow pnp interrogation?
Which? Make with the data. Show us the output from pnpdump, for
example. Then show us how you edited the file. Then show us any error
messages from running isapnp over it. Show us how you edited
conf.modules. Etc. etc. etc.

The distro is irrelevant. Linus complained that he couldn't use both
the cdrom and the floppy at the same time, making it difficult to boot
from floppy in order to get the distro off the CD. I think both are on
pcmcia crads. The solutions range from the obvious to the ingenious (I
think Linus' fell in the latter category, involving the use of the
floppy format of the first tracks on a bootable cdrom).
If yours is a firewire model, that doesn't work. Or didn't, last time I

It may be that one of the programs is putting out UTC time. My machine runs
the hardware clock in UTC. I sometimes have problems with my other system
that is dual boot Microsoft Windows 95 and Linux. I have to run the clock
there in local time because Microsoft is too dumb to do anything else.
Trouble is, Windows diddles the clock whenever Daylight Savings TIme begins
and ends, and once in a while it thinks that is at a different time from
reality. When it adjusts to Daylight Savings Time in January or something,
things get really screwy. This machine is Linux-Only, and I have no
problems running the hardware clock in UTC.
Here are a few experiments:
valinux:jdbeyer[~]$ date
Sat Sep 2 14:13:48 EDT 2000
valinux:jdbeyer[~]$ touch frammis
valinux:jdbeyer[~]$ ls -l frammis
-rw-r----- 1 jdbeyer jdbeyer 0 Sep 2 14:13 frammis
valinux:jdbeyer[~]$ /sbin/clock
Sat Sep 2 18:15:30 2000 -0.601410 seconds
valinux:jdbeyer[~]$
(I see my hardware clock is drifting. My system clock is set to the
U.S.Navy clock up to 4 times a day, and is rarely more than a few seconds
off.)

Try entering the command "sndconfig" from a text terminal (don't use
an X window for this). You should be able to configure and test the
sound card. If there are no conflicts, just choose the defaults, and
you should be ok. Sndconfig will not check for conflicts though.
After adding a second ethernet card, I had to determine my Soundblaster 16
and the new ethernet card would not share an interrupt. This has worked
for me with a Soundblaster 16 (ISA) and redhat 6.1 and 6.2.

Netscape works fine for me 4.74 Linux Redhat.
When you say Netscape doesn't display pages correctly it's probably
because those pages were created with something by MS like FrontPage.
These HTML editors by MS suck and write terrible code. They often forget
to close specific and required HTML Tags like <TABLE>s which make them
impossible to view via Netscape. While it may parse OK with IE, it's not
correct code. Netscape relies on correct code.
I also have no problem with correctly programmed Javascript. After all,
Netscape and Sun were the ones behind Javascript. Just because MS does
it "there way" doesn't mean it's the "right way". If the person
programming these Javascripts were worried about writing platform
independent code, you would't have these problems.
The main reason I switched to Linux is because I was sick and tired of
the Windoz OS crashing and I'm sure you have your reasons as well which
are along these same lines. If MS developed a stable OS they may even
develop a good Web page editor, but as you know, there's nothing stable
about any MS product (have you tried Win/2000? YUK!). Also Web site
programmers and editing softwares need to write platform independent
code and stick to standards. It can be done, but because 95% of the
computer OS market belongs to MS, I guess these programmers simply don't
do the work that is necessary.

I can't speak for Wine, but Access 2000 runs fine under Win98 under VMware.
That's the easiest way to go, though it won't be the cheapest (especially if
you don't already have Win98) and those who are religious about keeping MS
stuff off of their computers will find this solution unacceptable.
(Personally, I think Win98 runs better under VMware than it does on the
metal...it's probably a result of getting it to work right with the same set
of drivers on every machine, so you remove the instabilities that can be
brought about by substandard device drivers. It's a little bit slower, but
the same speed-vs.-stability argument could be made for NT 3.51 vs. NT 4.)

I can't see anything wrong with the clock:
[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]$ date
Sat Sep 2 11:58:39 MST 2000
[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]$ touch frammis
[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]$ ls -l frammis

[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]$ /sbin/clock
Sat Sep 2 11:59:01 2000 -0.823669 seconds
[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]$
You'll notice that touch created a file 7 hours in advance. This I
believe is GMT, but I don't see how it can create a file with this
timestamp if all other times are not GMT? The CMOS is also set to the
correct time.
Isn't this a strange one? There must be something that determines the
date of a newly created or modified file. Obviously this has nothing to
do with the clock (at least these clocks).
I looked at my /etc/adjtime file:
-0.013481 967840065 0.000000
967840065
LOCAL
On my other Linux box it reads:
0.0 0 0.0
So could this be something?

It would have been easy to recommend a HowTo or even easier to skip the

But then again, newbies should just go back to Windows were they belong,

The purists will hate me for this, but here goes:
1) Install VMware.
2) Install Win9x (95 or 98...doesn't matter for your purposes) under VMware.
3) Install IE 5.5 under Win9x.
If you have enough RAM to do this (at least 128 megs; I have 256), it'll
work. If Win9x eats itself under VMware (and under VMware, it happens less
often than usual), your Linux system keeps chugging along. To paraphrase
what IBM used to say about OS/2, VMware enables a better Windows than
Windows.
