Hi,

just installed 7.0 from the CD that comes with the Sams "teach yourself
mandrake in 24 hours". The install went pretty well- partitioned my drive,
picked up my network card, zip drive (i think!),  network config worked first
time, IDed all the available memory - everything seems fine so far except the
three basic things - sound. floppy drive and CDROM drive
My sound card was correctly identified, but any sounds come out as tones - no
bells, roars, crashing windows - just flat tones. The card is an  SB Live!.
Neither the floppy nor the CDROM drive will mount - any attempt comes back with
the error msg like (for the floppy) "mount: /dev/fd0 is not a valid block
device"
 Help ! I would really like to find out what is happening here.

Thanks,
philomena
