Dear friends: A footnote on my request for sound configuration during install. Just wanted to clarify that when I forgot to configure sound (sndconfig) and turned on Real Player G2, I did not simply hear nothing. I got an error message: "Sorry, audio device being used by another program" or something like that. Then it sent me to RealPlayer's Tech Support for a lengthy and irrelevant (for us Linux users) explanation why my sound was not working. Naturally, if you haven't configured your sound during install (not included yet in RH or Mandrake) and forgot to do so right afterwards (or if you are a newbie and don't even know that you are supposed to configure your sound AFTER the full install), then you'll find yourself completely confused until you suddenly remember to configure your sound or, in the case of a newbie, until someone tells him/her what needs to be done. So, why not include sound configuration as part of the regular Installation procedure, so that when you are told at the very end "Congratulations, your installation is successful, welcome to Linux" (can't remember the exact words), you really have completed your installation. I can only imagine a newbie installing RealPlayer G2 and getting the message I got and trying to figure out what in the world is going on? Let's help the newbies, who have enough problems as it is, and let's make Mandrake even more user-friendly by including sound configuration in the regular Install! It's about time!
