I did not have to do that. If you are indeed running FreeBSD (I *hope* you are, posting in FreeBSD-Questions :), it's available pre-compiled in the FreeBSD packages compilation. If you have FTP access and a working network connection (PPP or LAN) run /stand/sysinstall as root. Go to the post-install config menu, and with FTP as your media type, go to the packages menu. As I don't remember which category it's under, just get at it from the "All" menu. The name DOES start with ESound... Check it off and let the installer take care of the rest. If all goes well, esound will be downloaded, installed and configured by the time you exit the program :-) Of course, if you aren't using FreeBSD, you may have a more difficult time :-) .-----------============-----------. : Ryan Thompson -*- ryant@home.com : .--------------------------------------------. : # config world : : # make world : : - Can your OS do THAT?! - Ryan T. : `--------------------------------------------' To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
