Can anyone help

Been running linux mandrake and decided to try debian.
When using mandrake I setserial to /dev/ttyS2 com3 to irq 10 and connection
to internet was successful.
On setting up debian i changed the serial of /dev/ttyS2 to irq 10 and the
modemn was found
Can wvdial as root but not as user tried adduser  to dialout but still
having problems.
I have been going round in circles for a few days. Any ideals on how to
connect up.

Another thing is the sound.
When running mandrake i used sndconfig to set up my sound.
In debian my card is found es1869 but I cant get it to work.
In windows my sound card is found on irq 5 and I used this in mandrake to
work. Anyone know how to get my sound working.
Is there an equivilent sndconfig for debian.

What I see of debian so far is great but trying to set up the system to my
requirements is proving more difficult that I thought.

Thanks in advance

I don't know, but if so, you can find them on debian-user, not
debian-www.  Please try asking your questions again there.

this is _not_ the right list to ask this, ask the same question in
debian-user, you will find how to subscribe to that list in the
Debian page.

thanks

New translator (also new Debian user) asks help

[Stefaan Colson]

Trying to translate to Dutch.
Unable to see my work locally, because not possible to compile 
wml to html.
Dangerous : errors only seen online, after commit (when it's 
too late)

1. Problem with wml compiling (Y2K bug ?)
 cd webwml/dutch
 make
wml -q -D etc
ePerl:Error; perl runtime error (interpreter rc=2
---Contents of STDERR channel:---
Can't handle date (32, 58, 22, 09, 1, 19100) at 
/tmp/wml.4909.tm1 line 1169

Year 19100 ? Maybe put 19 in front of current year (100) 
i.s.o adding 1900 ?
Am I the only with this problem ?

2. Problem with compiling buttons 
(dutch/Pics/...)
Seems he needs gimp 1.1 and gimp-nofree 1.1 (and 
Gimp.pm)
These are unstable releases. Indeed necessary to install 
?

Thanks,
Stefaan

You need to update wml. There is a newer version in stable (or stable-updates)
that fixes that problem.

I believe so. You don't need to worry about it though. Since Dutch uses
iso-8859-1 and I finally upgraded to gimp1.1, I have created the images
for you. If you are unhappy with the text in any of the images, just
send me what you want and I'll create new ones. It's trivial once
everything is set up (thanks Craig).

Hope this helps.
