Re: picked up RH 5.2

["Jeff Palmer" <somedamnfool@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

the pnp sb shouldn't be a roblem at all..... just install it.... and in 
bios set the option pnp os (or soemthing sim.) to no.... the modem 
depends on the modem.... both the modem and sound card in this machine 
are pnp with no problem....... the modem as long as it's a "real modem" 
not a software "winmodem" should not be a problem either.... just put 
them in and see if they work is the best thing you could do.... the 
version of soundcfg in rh5.2 scans for pnp soundcards (as of this 
version without seg. faulting if it isn't a real SB) :) and sets them up 
loads the modules... and plays a test sound 

hope any of my babble is of some help...... Jeff...
