However, you also need to recompile your kernel, since the default Debian kernels don't have any sound options. i presume this is to avoid taking so much space for something so unnecessary to getting the system basically working--note that, unlike printers, each soundcard chipset requires its own drivers to work properly; unlike ethernet, which may be necessary to finish the install, sound isn't necessary. Check the archives <http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/> for information on which modules are required for a SB16PnP and various methods of inserting them. - -- finger for PGP public key. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.3ia Charset: noconv iQCVAwUBN9nEGL7M/9WKZLW5AQFAkgP/W2A5z1gR19of228yVvFa20Ko2GXGxvy5 sbRHUAgK9JadD1kTU/cYhLGt/KoCuv/PcI4qEsvlJXszOVYjA2+WeoMMGU8dIt7C Qrfdw5kNoXd6ULFWv2z6oNvVrMFNV89COZ2XW7g5/YB7A2HLquHs4in8rn9UJ6vj pD7p4Cfcbxk= =PONY -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
