[newbie] problem with sound
I have some problems with OSS, after boot it says something like : CPU Overload, fatal server error, this is not happening all the time, but pretty often and is not so pleasant at all. Everything is working ok, i have sound, but when this error appears i can`t use it sound options. How can i solve this OSS issue ? My second problem is that i installed alsa since this OSS is not working, but also no sound because alsamixergui has the default value for volume : mute. I`ve tryed S, Ctr+S, man alsamixergui, but i can`t find anywere saving options for alsamixer settings (after i`ve changed mute and volume option), and i can`t find also alsamixer text version. Thanks for your understanding ! P.S. Using Mdk 9.1 on P III Copermine 733/133, main board Intel D815eea2, sound onboard AC97, 512 MB SDRAM Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] defragmentation
Sir Robin, Excelent explanation, me and the other newbies (i`m sure of it) we thank you for it, i finally understood fragmentation process in windows and unix/linux file system. Thank you again !

Thanks in advance for your understanding. It's very simple, and not exclusive to Linux - it goes back to the early days of Unix. The best way to think of it is that your filesystem is one of those folders that has a separate plastic envelope for each page. Imagine you're a secretary who has to store documents in such a folder. To start off, you put in the first document at the beginning, then the second document after it, and so on. The difference comes when you bin some documents (delete files). If you're a Unix/Linux secretary, and you have a ten-page document, you look for the first empty space in the folder that has at least ten envelopes and put your document there. If you're a Windows secretary, you start filing the document in the first empty space you find, even if it only has three envelopes. You then look for another empty space, and file the next few pages of your document, and so on. Eventually, the documents in your foder are so spread out and mixed up that you have to take them all out and put them back in some kind of order (defragmentation). Stupid, isn't it?

Re: [newbie] problem with sound
The only option that i have is alsamixergui, i don`t have any alsa, alsamixer, alsamixertext, or any other (in command line) ! I don`t have a man page for alsamixergui ! There is nothing ! So if someone understood my problem, i would really need some help !

Have you tried just typing alsamixer in a terminal? There is a man page, you use the 'm' key to toggle mute IIRC. Thanks for your understanding ! P.S.
