The SETUP command is typed at the prompt. It gives you options to setup varios things like the sound card.

Your Plug n Pray equipment IS relocatable regardless of where the BIOS puts it. Perhaps you could tell the BIOS that you have a PnP aware OS?
Forgive my ignorance, but I am used to using scripts, and editing files or sometimes using sndconfig to set up a sound card. What is this SETUP you refer to?

I still can NOT get Linux-Mandrake fully installed.
I can not seem to get the modem working after setting up the sound card. I
just don't understand it.
The modem works very good untill the sound card is configured under SETUP.
Once the sound card is setup. The modem seems to get less dominant and
stops working. Here is what I get when I type "isapnp /etc/isapnp.conf"
........
[root@localhost /root]# isapnp /etc/isapnp.conf

/etc/isapnp.conf:46 -- Fatal - resource conflict allocating IRQ5 (see
/proc/interrupts)
/etc/isapnp.conf:46 -- Fatal - Error occurred executing request 'IRQ 5' ---

[root@localhost /root]#
One of the errors say "see /proc/interrupts". Well, the /proc/interrupts
file is size zero and contains no data. Now what?
My BIOS says that my modem is at IRQ 11 on COM 3 (ttyS2). Well, when I boot
the computer, Linux puts out a line durring bootup that says...
ttyS2 at 0X3E8 (IRQ=4) is a 16550A
I don't understand how this can be possible. How can the Linux operating
system see the modem at "IRQ 4" when the bios says it is at IRQ 11. The
settings in Windows 98 even say that the modem is operating at IRQ 11.
The bios also says that the sound card is set to operate at IRQ 5. So how
could there be a resource conflict? If there is a resource conflict, why
doesn't it get reported when I run Windows 98? Windows 98 says that the
sound card is running on IRQ 5. That jives exactly with the bios. Windows
98 runs VERY smooth. LINUX is like a rough and rocky road. Is
Linux-Mandrake 6.0 trying to invent its own bios and environment?
What MUST I do to fix this mess? What information can I provide to help fix
this thing? I am writing to MandrakeSoft and they are VERY slow at responding.
Modem: Sportster 56K internal PnP
Sound Card: Creative Labs Sound Blaster 16 PnP.
