[Sheflug] more newbie rubbish

[Peter Smith <nospam [at] zetnet.co.uk>]

Hello again.
I'm back (evil grin)
I have now set up Suse 6.4 on it's own Hard drive. So the box is windoze 2000
on hda & Suse on hdb loading from boot floppy, I have no intention of pissing
about with mbr again. Problems, I have no sound my pc has a bog standard sound
blaster 16 which works fine in windows. Suse will not recognise it. I have
tried from inside Yast 2 sound setup but get a message saying the kernel was
not altered, I have tried from within a terminal window entering "sndconfig" &
get the message "command not known" Funny one that cos it's got a result in all
the other distro's I've tried. I have even opened the manual ( not usual for me
:)) and put into a terminal window (# modprobe sb io=0x220 irq=5 dma=1 dma16=5
mpu_io=0x330 whatever that means & got a message saying "failed item busy" or
some such.
Other problem Adding aplications I have (using) yast added staroffice and wine
from the disc set starofice is fine setup thingy on the desktop reaby to
configure. But I cannot find Wine any where. Where is it likely to be & how do
I activate it, ?????
Missed the meeting on sat installing this lot.
Ohh by the way although it is 20:00 hours Sunday night my ckock (bottom left)
shows 11:00 saturday the 10th Hmmmm
Pete.

HELP!!!!!!
