Hi Alan, Paul, and anyone else who wants to chime in :-)
Well, I tried the various suggestions, but no luck. Draxconf doesn't seem to
have a "sound" option - I'll leave the sound alone for now.
I think I should first concentrate on the problem with the floppy and CDRW
drives (and I have an internal ZIP drive - I'm guessing that doesn't work
either). I've attached the output of dmesg - during boot, it looks like the
CDRW and ZIP are recognized as ATAPI, but then later down, as scsi devices.
Also, there are lots of error related to the floppy drive. Could you take a
look and see if there is something in the boot msgs that can point the way
out of this ?
I'm learning a bunch of little things along the way here, so I appreciate
the response.
Thanks,
Philomena
