[newbie] : Sound - /dev/mixer

I know I can play sounds with from the command line with "cat sound > mywav.wav", but is there a way to manipulate the mixer from the command line also? The sound is very low when first initialized and the only workaround I have so far is to enter X and use its mixer. Thanks, Scott

Look for XBF_i740. Its available in rpm form, but I can't remember where I downloaded it from. Check Red Hat's errata pages, maybe there. Scott

Re: [newbie] X display very odd

You can search through the rpms folder of your install cd for it. I think it will be named something like XFree86-XF86Setup.i586.rpm. Install it from there. If you don't have X working at all, you'll probably have to mount the cdrom first with a mount -t iso9660 -r /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom. Then

Re: [newbie] Monitor Incompatibility and some other things..

Mine wouldn't make the boot disk either at the end. On the second I did a very minimal install and it worked, then I ran it again as upgrade to install all the packages I'd left out. HTH Scott
