One more data point: I develop in Fedora 7 running in Parallels on a Mac. Installed csound via yum and TamTam 37, it works in this environment, although with that constant weird buzzing (and it really wants a 1200 screen, the UI is garbled in 1024). - Bert - _______________________________________________ Sugar mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/sugar
