I had to download the file au88xx-1.1.2.tar.gz from the Internet. It took me a long time, but I finally got it configured. The first thing you have to do is compile the kernel. You do that by going to a command prompt and typing: urpmi kernel-source. This will set up everything you need. Then you make a directory named /aureal and copy the tar file in there and untar it. Then you switch to the other /aureal directory (which LM makes when you untar the file) and run the program 'make'. In other words, you would type in 'make install30', which is the model of your card. I hope this works for you the first time. I tried it many times before it worked. I hope it works the first time for you. Good luck. Guy ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!
