I have to run modprobe sound to install the sound module every time I want to hear sound. I have put the line: alias sound emu10k1 in the file /etc/conf.modules but this does nothing. Any help to fix this would be greatly appreciated. Regards Graham

AFAIK restrictions were relaxed about a year ago. And of course the obnoxious RSA patent is now gone too. US NetBSD, OpenBSD, and FreeBSD ftp sites make ssl, ssh, usw. available for download.

I'm in Pacific Standard Time, and my hardware clock is set to local time. I have never had this problem with previous SuSE versions: Every once in awhile my clock jumps backwards 8 hours. I recall seeing similar problems mentioned before but could not find them in the e-mail archives. Where do I start looking to troubleshoot this problem? Thanks, Greg -- http://www.2fortheroad.net
