Hi, Steve,
1. All you have to do about sound card is just make sure that your sound
card is supported by Linux (you can check it out at Hardware HOWTO at
http://metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO/Hardware-HOWTO and if it
supported, run
the command :
# sndconfig
and after that, you just have to follow the instructions.
2. About dual boot, I think it isn't a problem you put Linux at where place.
To activate
LILO (LInux LOader), a dual-boot utility, just type :
# lilo
and Linux will work it out for you.
If you reboot, after memory checking and some other else, you will be asked
what OS you want
to boot from. That's it.
May it helps.
Best Regards,
Paulus Hendarwan

Subject: [newbie] DUAL BOOT
Hi All,
I am planning to run a dual boot system W98, and Linux. I have a SCSI HD
and an IDE HD. The controller card for the SCSI drive is not supported,
bummer, so I have Linux installed on my IDE drive. All peripherals
except for the sound card work properly, I have a Creative Labs sound
card. The installation program never gave me the option to set it up.
Does this mean it is not supported? If it should be supported how can I
set it up after the OS has been installed?
I am confused as to how to set up the dual boot option when the 2 OS's
are on different drives? Currently, when the computer is setup to boot
off of the drive containing Linux it gets to "LI" then freezes. If I
boot up off of the Linux floppy created during installation, it works
fine.
Any ideas??
Thanks in advance,
Steve
