If this is the login prompt that appears just after bootup, type in lisa, hit return, then type in your password. If you haven't set up a user account, though (probably not), your login name is "root". Use that followed by the root password, which should have been set during the installation. After you're logged in, type: "man useradd" You do not use "cdrun.exe" in Linux. This file is a Windows file. Your soundcard is probably supported under Linux, so don't worry. However, the exact instructions for setting it up will vary from distribution to distribution. If you are using Redhat Linux, then type the following at a prompt: "sndconfig" -- Arandir... _______________________________ <http://www.meer.net/~arandir/>
