Thanks to all trying to help me.
Sound refuses to work although adding user rland to group audio, in
fact the sound card output channel should make the boxes at least do
some noise as just tested on the other PC -t doesn't.
Does lsmod help tp clarify:
MINI:/home/rland# lsmod

sound is indicated as 'unused' - unused by what, by the OS?
Dave Sherohman suggested to use gom -it or any other mixer. When do I
need a mixer (my aim is just wanting to here the CDROM playing)? A
have only little knowledge in this area too.
Gnome's "gmix" complaines about "no mixers found" and asks me if I had
compiled sound into the kernel.
Last but not least - linux.aureal.com seems to be dead - sigh.
Then the problem not being able to su X-apps out of a users xterm.
What are the security risks here and why shouldn't I use xhost as
Martin B. warned?
Martin mailed me that /etc/modules.conf would be a optional config
file - however, which file does the kernel use to load a module when
booting up?
Unfortunatly I'm not able to open man ssh - (bad day, today), the
system reports:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ man ssh

Additionally I'm not able to use the command "tree" I have so often
used on my old 2.0.x distribution (not debian).
These messages do not pop up anymore :

But the cd device is still indicated as 2x. The ATAPI interface should
provide all the information about the cd drive?
