Hi Paul,
no, the entries in my fstab don't resemble yours too much - I think I did
not enable supermount during installation. After looking around some more I
saw that my ethernet card and the sound card are assigned the same IRQ - I'm
sure that can't be a good thing. I can't find where to change that
assignment though. I thoughtit might be in conf.modules but its not there.
I'll try the "setup" - didn't know that was there - only tried sndconfig and
that didn't do much.
Thanks,
Philomena
