Not true: neither the soundcard nor the network card were detected automatically. I think his network card was a 3com 3c59x or some permutation of those letters. There's a "common" variety and a "less common" variety. I googled whatever it was plus +debian and found out some completely non-intuitive driver you could substitute for it, and why Knoppix didn't support it out of box. Never could quite figure out what the issue was with Alsa. Of course I could have set there and dinked with it until it worked, but that's what I told them they'd have to do and they don't want to do it. They're still stuck in that "just run setup.exe" from the vendor's website mindset. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
