Please help.
The sound card is installed properly (I think).
It was found in log file:
kernel: Creative SBLive! at 0xd800 on irq 10
But:
aumix-minimal: aumix: error opening mixer
I have checked the /dev/mixer. It existed.
crw------- 1 root sys 14, 0 Apr 18 1999 mixer
Is these any problem?
Thanks.

Hello,
I have something to tell you. I didn't believe it really works, but it
works.
Last month I earned 20 $ while surfing the Internet. This service sent me a
check, I went to bank & these 20 $ was mine, and these are still mine. I
didn't work so much because this doesn't want online statuus for earning.
Who wants to eplanation how to do this and earn money like me, should do
this:
Send me a e-mail message with SUBJECT : EARNING, HOW? In the message body
should not write anything, only name of his country.
How I earned money with no online works? It is about MLM (Multlevel
Marekting). It really works.
Explanation will be in the e-mail
Thanx.
Sincerely,
Nick

[redhat 6.2, kernel 2.2.16]
hi,
i decided to upgrade to kernel 2.2.16 from 2.2.14 as i installed a new
eicon diva isdn card.
i configured the driver into the kernel, but on boot i see
ISDN subsystem Rev: 1.100/1.84/1.114/none/none/1.4
Eicon active ISDN driver Rev: 1.25/1.11/--/1.33
Eicon active ISDN driver Release: 1.83
Eicon: No supported PCI cards found
not quite sure where to take it from here... last time i installed a
PCI network card it recognised it on boot... any tips? i can't seen
to findn an isdn howto. which is bizarre, as i'm sure there one
existed.
thanks,
brydon

Yup, sounds like `server' class installation

You'll have to use LILO (Linux Loader) or a
win-based boot loader. It depends upon the order
of installation:
1) Windows, 2)Linux, => LILO/LOADLIN
#NOTE: 'Custom' installation class will ask you
about applying LILO to your MBR (Master Boot
Record) or boot partition
1) Linux, 2) Windows => Win boot loader

'server' installation class takes all, on the
other hand, you have to issue the command
mount -t ntfs /dev/hda1(sda1) /mnt/cdrom (mkdir
WinNT later)
#NOTE: `ntfs' may not be immediately available.

You don't. Use Linux's 'fdisk' to delete all of
the paritions from your CLI (Command Line
Interface). Type `init 1' before using `fdisk'.

Subject: Removable media shared over NFS can't be umounted
Hi Folks,
i've tried to share a removable media (Floppy and ZIP drive) over NFS.
The floppy is locally mounted on the server (RH 6.2) which exports this
filesystem via NFS to an client (SuSE 6.3). i'm able to mount and
unmount the exported filesystem on the client (everything is working
fine!). but if i try now to umount the floppy on the server i get the
message 'device busy'. after killing nfsd i'm able to umount. so it
seems that nfsd keeps the device busy.
does anyone know what's the problem?
Thanks,
Marcus

If this happens when you are trying to run kppp then you can solve this
problem by editing the options file in /etc/ppp.
Just put # in front of the word lock.

Most external modems will work with Linux in general, the internal modem=
s=20
often are Winmodems only.

Any external serial MODEM should work fine. You could also try a PCMCIA
MODEM card. Check the harware compatibility list for Linux. A few
Lucent WinMODEMS work with Linux with the proper settings - but I cannot
