Don't use sysinstall if you can help it. I prefer ports; even packages are ok. The easiest way is to use lynx, like lynx www.freebsd.org/ports or even lynx freebsd/ports will work ( it'll guess ) You can navigate the catagories or search for your application. Each application shows you the dependencies, and has links ( that way, YOU are the package manager, not some application :) > I've also have been trying to get my Vibra16 pnp to work...but I've found > 100 different docs on how its supposed to be installed... > I've tried the sb0 devices in the kernel, and pnp...and others but none work. hehe.. I have the same exact card.. vibra16x pnp .. I got luigi's sound driver to work, although OSS is a decent choice as well ( www.opensound.com ) With OSS, you just make sure there are NO sound drivers compiled into the kernel.. it runs on the commandline and configures pnp stuff, auto-detects the card, etc.. very easy, works ok too. Unfortunately, it's commercial, and the program will stop working after a period of several days, in which time you are obliged to pay for it ( somewhere in the neighborhood of 20 dollars -I think-, but don't hold me to that :) If it's worth it to you, do it that way. If not, Luigi's pcm0 /pnp stuff does work with this card, and I can help you if you run into snags.. ( it's a little weird, because the card gets put on pcm1 , and you need to make new symlinks in /dev ( audio1 -> audio , instead of audio0 -> audio like it "normally" is, etc ) ) > Thanks for your help! > I'm going to bed now....but I'll be back in the morning...or late afternoon :) @:-) g'night.. -rob ( www.namodn.com ) ( robert@namodn.com ) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
