actually, it's a little annoying (but good for newbies) because, you know
how in winblows whenever you go to my computer it checks accesses the cd,
well here it does this also but i can't really figure out when (for example
when i use locate).

well actually it looks like a gui interface for sndconfig. but, it's very
nice how they did it:
they have a program that detects your hardware and then you can press on the
soundblaster and click install. it then runs that gui interface to sndconfig
(when you press test then you hear the same old "hello this is linus...".
other than that, the install is quite buggy, i discovered. i tried to
install it yesterday on my mom's computer which has one windows partition
and that's it.
1. mandrake didn't like that and said that there were no available
partitions which means it's a little too winblows users friendly - it won't
let someone install linux over his winblows!?! so i used the redhat
installation to create the linux and swap partition.
2. it was a text based installation (which makes me wonder if mine was the
gui installation?). They apparently didn't think too many people would get
this installation because it looks like they didn't even test it. i couldn't
use expert mode because it kept crashing with signal 11(?) right before the
individual package choosing.
3. during the installation of the packages it showed output of processes
every once in a while. weird.
but i still think it's very cool and i highly recommend it.
