I got the sound problem with either kernel, 2.2.x or 2.4.x. These are the
kernels off the Cds.

I don't require pppoe. I said I used a cable connection in my original
post.

It is the distro's fault. There's no need to slam me, I never slammed
you.

This was uncool. I said I got the error from Caldera 3.1 in my original
post, not 2.4..
I was not trying to slam Linux on the whole with my post. I realize
things can be fixed. I merely pointed out stuff that I expect to work
right out of the box.
At any rate, I won't pursue this anymore. Thank you for your
observations.
