You've got a lot of different things going on that are unrelated. This message is innocuous; I'm not sure why it hasn't been fixed but you can find info about it in the archives. For sound, have you looked at the isapnp package? I don't envy you the position you're in. I went through the potato transition long enough ago (I'm woody now) that I don't remember most of the details. dejanews archives the deb-user and deb-devel mailing lists as they are gated to newsgroups. Have you tried that? Luck, Rick
