blatently disregarding that i should not ask howto questions in the newbies
maillist, but i find that i get my best support is from the people in the
newbies group. i wish there was pay for phone support - i would pay for it.
Isn't that crazy?

Getting the cd to play music:
"Complete FreeBSD" has no step by step procedure to do this. Could any one
help me - or follow me to the questions list and i'll ask there. Could
someone at least tell me the questions to ask. dmesg command cites my
integrated AC97 sound chip ( on my Abit VA6 mother board ), so i know
FreeBSD sees the the soundchip. i have installed xcdplayer - but don't know
if that was a good choice - it's man page says xcdplayer is for sgi and sun
cd players - what's that mean? - it won't work w/ide cd players?

i have no idea how to get my cd player playing music cds. previous question
on the newsgroup have cited that i must recompile my kernel first - why?
FreeBSD sees the sound chip. i think i need pca driver? not sure.

thanks
