there's a difference between talking linux and complaining nothing works
with whichever distro you try followed by comments like my win2k box
never does this or that.

OK, you edited the rc.modules file, uncommented the sb16 line and still
no sound under the 2.4 kernel but you do get sound under the 2.2.19
kernel? Did you try building your own 2.4 kernel yet? FWIW, i could not
get any sounds under XFce (added by me) using a 'stock' kernel but yet i
did have sounds under kde and gnome. once i built a 2.4.6 kernel there
was sound under XFce as well.

i think whoever built the slacware kde 2.1.2 packages did a piss poor
job of it as it is extremely buggy with koffice segfaulting every time -
and not just here either

i forgot, are you using cable or dsl? (perhaps you never said?) do you
need to use pppoe perhaps? just a thought.

and you ran netconfig? hmmm something strange with that which kernel did
you select, the one from the boot floppy or one off the CD?

well, i'm glad you know what you're doing... and you're right: it's
gotta be the distro fault. yep. sure thing...

huh? but what about the 'garbage strings' thing? i thought that was a
problem... say... wait a minute... you wouldn't be related to hayseeds
