Thank you; that makes sense. Of course, I knew i had to convert the file, and i kind of suspected the headers issue, but wasn't sure. But once i've converted it, I should be able to split it. will liet you know how it comes out. I'm not one to give up quickly. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL

I'm having no problem understanding what files to download with jigdo for the latest official release. But I am confused by the raw.jigdo and raw.template listings in the woody directory. Do I need all 8 of the jigdo ones and, if so, what are the template ones for? TIA. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email

I found the answer! Sg0 sg1, etc. for generic scsi, which get used somehow but aren't actually linked to scd0 and scd1 or /cdrom etc., has permissions that don't allow you to access them as a user. since sg0 and sg1 etc. don't belong to the cdrom group either, this doesn't help any. I changed my

Hi all! Thanks for the suggestions. Yes, I am a member of the audio group, and anyway, I had of course tried it as root. the odd thing is that i can get it to work with the kernel compiled-in sblive support, but when I dump that and compile in alsa, I allways get can't open /dev/audio: no such

Besides the fact that the card does work when using kernel support instead of alsa, and the fact that I just discovered that the /dev/audio0 permissions are different from those of the symlink /dev/audio, there is one more peculiarity that may or may not help. With the compiled-in kernel support,
