This will allow user to do something like cat /dev/null /dev/hd[x] and erase the hard drive. You should change you CDROM to group cdrom (chgrp cdrom /dev/hd[x]) and add yourself to that group for CD access. Scott

Re: Best way to setup a Soundblaster Live card
Rob, As a newbie, can someone tell me how this is done? I have compiled 2.4.5 with OSS support and now just need to add the users to this group Go root, edit /etc/group, find the audio line, and add the users you'd like to have access to sound. So, the untouched line'll look something like this: audio:x:29: and you want to change it so it looks like this: audio:x:29:usera,userb,userc And there you go! :) -- Andrew Sione Taumoefolau [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://users.pipeline.com.au pgpe5t85eTXGs.pgp Description: PGP signature

Best way to setup a Soundblaster Live card
Hello, I would like to know what is the best (or easiest) way to setup a sblive card. I know there is alsa and the kernel drivers. Cheers, Rob

OSS (kernel driver) is probably easiest. modconf then select the emu10k1 module. Don't forget to add your users to group audio, it's a common newbie trap.
Re: Best way to setup a Soundblaster Live card
I would like to know what is the best (or easiest) way to setup a sblive card. I know there is alsa and the kernel drivers. Maybe not the best way, but it worked fairly easy for me... Download a recent kernel (2.2.18 or better for kernel driver support). Do a insmod sound; insmod emu10k1 as root. Then, manually put these drivers in your /etc/modules to have sound at system startup or you can use modconf if you'd rather not edit the file manually. I could never get my gameport to work though...maybe alsa has support?!? Scott
