Yes I know...that was a rather uncouth way to say that set says HISTSIZE=500

Avoid this book if your a beginner, it's more a reference not a learning
tool.

Subject: Soundcard Configuration
Date: Sun, 11 Feb 2001 17:44:08 -0500
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hi everyone,
I need a little help configuring my soundcard. I have Mandrake 7.2 and
an Aureal Vortex 2 soundcard. During the installation I was told to get
the drivers at linux.aureal.com, a site that I have found no longer
exists. The redhat sound configuration tool that comes with Mandrake
did not work. Before Mandrake, I tried out Corel 1, and it configured
my soundcard if I ran OSS.
1. Is there a site other than an aureal.com site where I could download
sound drivers?
2. If not, is there a way I could install OSS from my Corel installation
CD in order to configure my card?
3. If neither of the above will work, do any of you have any other
ideas as to how I could get my sound up and running?
Thank you all very much for you help.
Sincerely,
Kyle Smith

Turns out this isn't an option I tried it, but it won't work because the
destination drive is greater than 8.4 gigs. My linux 2.2.14 kernel
doesn't care it can see all 40 gigs. Is there an easy and safe way to do
it from inside linux. The partition I want to copy is the root.
Thanks again
