My main problem is that even under Lose98 I can't figure out for sure
what exactly is the type of sound card I have. My box'es docs don't
specify this and so far I haven't found evidance for anyone installing
Linux on such a box, the closest I got is the Satellite 4030 (mine is
the 4080XCDT).
Any pointer would be greatly appreciated.
