Jerry, Be sure to find the sound mixer and turn the volume up, it comes default at 'off'. Please check how FDISK detects your Iomega Zip drive; a few of us who have removable media drives are getting erroronious output from FDISK, which prevents mounting. I have ADSL here on a w98 pc and proxy to my SuSE machines; I had to do it this way to please the ADSL provider. Best of luck ...........................Pete VC Jerry Kreps wrote:

I put the beast togehter and gave YaST2 the first (and only, so far) shot at installing SuSE 7.1 It couldn't detect the z52 printer, but I have the dirver rpm, so I'll install it later. It detected the soundblaster, which was a peripheral card, BUT also the onboard sound chip system, so sound didn't work. I deleted the first sound driver and the test button gave the startup music (That 18 watt woofer really gives a thump!), but when I put a music CD in the drive no sound would come out. I checked that the audio wire from the CD to the sound blaster was connected. And, I haven't got the Zip250 running yet. Also, I have yet to connect the NIC to my wifes machine, which is connected to the ADSL and will be my only way out to the internet.
The fun begins! :) JLK
