But, you don't, in most cases, as they are loadable.
I don't know all the issues re recompiling versus loadable drivers,
but the latter is easier.
Is the problem here that many responses are from people familiar
with older versions of Linux and accustomed to doing it "the old way"?
Same goes for some of the HOWTOs.

nstalled, and there it is as a
package, so why can't I install it?
What does "pn" actually mean?
Someone in an earlier posting said that "no installation candidate"
has something to do with an earlier version installed. But, that's
not my case.

err,
Could someone tell me what "OSS" means?
And "ALSA" ...
So, are you saying that we just bring in sndconfig from Red Hat, run it,
and that's it, we have sound?

just accept the default.
Horiz and vert sync rates should be in the manual that came with your
monitor. You normally enter them as a range, e.g., 50-100.
This cheapie 14inch monitor I'm using right now has horiz: 31-69 KHz and
vert: 50-100 Hz. You enter them into xf86config just like that (without
typing the units).

system?
sndconfig for example does some autodetection of the
sound device, and writes to /etc/isapnp.conf, /etc/conf.modules,
and /etc/sysconfig/soundcard.
Does anyone know if this is possible/allowable?
Is there a deb package for it?

I notice during boot-up that it does find the CDROM, but when I
try dselect, multi-CD access method, it can't find the CDROM
any more.
Any advice appreciated!
