Hi all.
I have a bit of a problem. Every time I work with big files (movies,
converting mp3s to wavs for ripping), my system slows down to a crawl for
some time, while it is emptying the buffers. Here's a quick example:

Hi.
You need to read a dual-booting HOWTO (one of the Windows-Linux HOWTOs)
It explains in detail how to setup a dualboot system, and how to setup

1.7-1.8 Afterstep has a builtin theme support.
You can use that engine, or do it by hand, just untar the tarball, and put

Its a PNP, so you need:
1. Install isapnp package.
2. Run pnpdump and create a config file for your card.
3. Run isapnp with that file. Use IRQ,IO, etc settings same as you supply

4. Compile sound support as a module.
5. reboot with your new
One problem I had with that card is as follows:
Ethernet-HOWTO suggests and you turn off the PnP mode, and set it to a
