Your suggestion did work. Thank you very much, Brad. I had no idea about dmasound_pmac... By the way, how should a newcomer learn about these model specific details? I find myself spending huge amounts of time trying to do this (and MANY other) seemingly simple tasks. Thanks, -Katsumi On

Debian on Apple Network Server 700?

2002-10-20 Thread Stuart
