Re: Debian 2.1 - sound, lilo, gnome etc... questions



TG>> 1. I don't quite know how to configure sound in my system. Is there a

Use "make menuconfig" and "make xconfig". Go to the sound options.

2.0.36 should have modular sound integrated. If not, look on the Alan's

gnome 0.30 is veeery old. I doubt anyone supports it anymore, with gnome
1.x out there.
