It seems that if you want a sound card, you need PnP. I got lucky and bought a used SB16SCSI, complete with jumpers, but most folks can't expect to do that. I think the biggest problem facing Linux is that it competes, for the most part, with Winblows. Naturally, any Winblows user will want something that they can use easily. Not likely with Linux, cause you need to learn to read. As a group, I think we need to focus more on competing with the likes of Solaris and Digital Unix. Point and Click, eh? Heh. Nothing wrong with an _intelligently designed_ interface to something. Personally I'm a fan of ncurses, but I also like the X based kernel config program. It's written well. - Josh -- ----------------------------------------------- Due to the large amount of spam mail I recieve, Reply-To field is ROT13: fdhnfu@vayvax.pbz -----------------------------------------------
