Thanks all :) well, to get your sound card working you can use Mandrake Control Center->hardware->hardware, then find your sound card amongst the other pieces of hardware listed there and run the configuration wizard for your particular sound card. that sould take care of that one. As far as "network browsing"... could you be a little more specific as to what "kind" of network browsing you're refering to? would that be on a LAN or the internet type? are you connecting to the internet through a LAN or a modem dialup? It matters because the setups are a bit different. As for Wine and your games... well, once you've mastered getting configuring your sound card, getting connected to the internet and getting your email running you'll be ready to tackle setting up and running Wine. It's not that it's particularly difficult as it requires a bit of familiarity with the system that you're asking to "run" programs that are foriegn to the OS. Namely running games that were made for windows on a Linux machine. -- daRcmaTTeR --------------------------------------------------------------------- If at first you don't succeed do what your wife told you to do the first time!
