I can't get my sound to work. Everything that uses sound says it can't open the sound device. Bplay gave me the best lead with this: bplay: /dev/dsp: Device not configured My question is, how do I configure /dev/dsp? MAKEDEV doesn't appear to do anything. |-

I have Debian and Winbloze on my 2.0 gig hd just fine. The only problem is, Winbloze will not see any partition that is not it's own format. When you format a partition for linux, you will lose sight of that partition in Win95. Linux, on the other hand, can see all partitions, so you can still c

Has anyone configured a PNP modem in Linux using PNPISATOOLS? I have a 33.6 modem which (unfortunately) is PNP and haven't been able to get Linux to recognize it. It should see it on /dev/ttyS1, since it's set for Com 1. Also, there were a number of scripts setup to connect you to an isp when yo
