RE: [newbie] Sounblaster AWE64 PNP

I thought you meant disable OS initialization of plug 'n play and enable bios initialization (this is in the install guide). Anyway, I got things working. I reinstalled with a fresh install instead of an upgrade, then ran sndconfig from an xterm instead of from Konsole (bios initialization of pnp
