Better solution is to "adduser audio" to add them to the audio
group (this is the correct solution).

Isn't there a DOS utility that will allow you take a chunk of your
DOS partition and make it available to Linux. I think it is called
cfdisk. I think you have to free up space on your drive for linux. If
you don't want Windows 98 than just fdisk it and than Linux will use all
the free space for it

Now, how do you get Netscape to invoke the rvplayer when I click on a

I installed both Netscape and rvplayer using the Debian package
