Hi, due to technical issues this mail perhaps was sent multiple times to the list, if so, then I apologize. It wasn't in the archive. I've got a few newbie requests. As a Linux user for a long time, interested in audio engineering, I've got bad luck with a RME HDSPe AIO audio card. Under Linux only ADAT channels 1 and 2 can be used. It's written that a FreeBSD driver does support all 8 ADAT IOs. The CPU is an Athlon 64-bit dual-core. IIUC there aren't issues regarding to 64-bit architecture, so I should download and install ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/amd64/amd64/ISO-IMAGES/9.0/FreeBSD-9.0-RELEASE-amd64-dvd1.iso and if I'll use an already installed Linux GRUB legacy, I don't need a free primary partition. Is there something I should take care of during installation, if audio is important? Until now I didn't read much, but I already noticed that there are Wikis similar to Linux Wikis, such as http://wiki.freebsd.org/Sound . Any hints are welcome. FWIW on this machine there's the RME audio card and in addition there're two Envy24 cards installed. Regards, Ralfhome | help
