Sorry if this is repetitious; I have been trying to reach you guys for some time but having trouble with my email. I am trying to install Mandrake on my wife's Presario laptop 711; so far I have it going, using some tips from Google. This is a double boot with WinXP (ugh). The big problem seems to be getting sound. I have found a patch on the internet, which I copied to my desktop, but cannot get it from there to an ext2 disk, which I believe I have to do, then I have to reboot, hit F1 with the disk in the drive, type in patch, and it will patch the sound, at least I think that is what to do. I guess another option is to copy the patch somewhere in the /src/linux area and then recompile the kernel which I have never done. Can anyone help me with this, perhaps at an install fest.

Another question, I have a lot of mounts in my little 4 machine lan at home; if I forget to unmount them all, when I logout or reboot, it freezes because of this, even if I have checked on Komba2 the box that says disconnect on exit. Any ideas? Thanks
