can put the CD in the mail tomorrow, should have it Wednesday.
Unless you _want_ to work with the folder sets in which case I would do an
NFS install. I have never tried to make them into a bootable CD.

Anyone ever make a Slackware install CD?
Does this work (I kinda doubt it, but maybe), or is there a better way:
$ cat bootdsks.144/net.i rootdsks/color.gz rootdsks/pcmcia.dsk > boot.i
$ mkisofs -b boot.i -c boot.cat -l -L -o ../slack.iso .
The cwd has dirs like a1, ap1, d1, n1, x1, xap1 ...

I dont remember any such post to the list. Most soundcards work under linux.
There are several Sound drivers available for many cards (professional and
free). I think Ive gotten all my sound cards (atleast a dozen) work with
linux if properly configured.
I have a couple sb16(and many generic),
I have used the PCI128 Live and the PCI512 live with great success. If
you need one of these, let me know. I can get a great price on them.

I am in need of a new sound card. Iremember a few weeks ago it was decided
by the list that Sound Blaster cards is the way to go for linux because of
driver development.
I am looking at three
1) Sound Blaster 16 ( an ISA card)
2) Sound Blaster PCI16 (PCI card)
3) Sound Blaster PCI 512 ( PCI card)

Tell me about it. All of my NFS servers are Solaris and have Gigantic raid

other hand they are MUCH faster than Win2Choke servers..

Larry,
As I understand this process, you are a little off. When you export a
variable it is available for that shell and for all sub-shells. This does not
mean that all of root's env varbs will be available in everybody's shell. What
this means is that if I launch a shell and type the followin

hi all, i've got a question for the gurus,
what really happens with environment variables, and how are they visible?
when you say something like
APP_LOG_DIR=/var/log/app/error.log
export APP_LOG_DIR
that sets the the environment variable for the rest of the current session
and for all sessions
