I installed sarge with sarge-i386-netinst.iso. I did choose "expert26" Everything was ok with the basic install. (kernel 2.6.3) pppoeconf, and ADSL is ok dselect to update - sarge updated but whan I quit dselect the system freezed (no keyboard ??) I had to power off and reboot the laptop to refain control Then dselect again to install X X not ok => no device pci 0:2:0 dpkg-reconfigure xserver (update with pci 0:2:0) and X is ok Now, instead of installing fvwm,... I chosen to install KDE (dummy package) And KDE was ok, usb was ok, the sound was ok. But I had now 3gb on my disk !! Because I was now convinced the sound should work I decided to install a new sarge but without kde and without netinst. So I used the iso images made with jigdo (cd1,cd2,cd3) As ususal /dev/cdrom is not ok (used hdc) install X - ok (but only after a dpkg-reconfigure) install fvwm,xfig,mozzila ok then install alsa-base,alsa-utils,alsa-mixer,alsaplayer,...cdcd And the sound is OK too !! Thanks again for you answer. carex.
