Sorry if you took my efforts to help as being insulting. You are responding to my last message where I indicated that what the OP was asking for us to put in the book is already covered in documentation provided by the package. Typically, we don't put stuff in the book (other than instructions to build the package) that can be found in package provided docs. We mention in the book that the sound channels are muted by default and to use the 'alsamixer' program to unmute them. Expecting readers to 'man alsamixer' is a given. We shouldn't have to tell them what is the obvious. -- Randy rmlscsi: [GNU ld version 2.15.94.0.2 20041220] [gcc (GCC) 3.4.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.4] [Linux 2.6.10 i686] 21:25:01 up 142 days, 20:58, 3 users, load average: 0.02, 0.28, 0.45 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
