[CALUG] RH9 startup settings

[James Ewing Cottrell 3rd]

You need to do most system administration as root. Use sudo.

If you look around the menus, RH9 has a program (menu entry) called 
something like "detect/activate sound card". You have to go there and 
click a button or two and from then on your sound card should work.

The "firstboot" package also has a sound card screen. It seems that 
later RH releases (try either Fedora Core, or CentOS, which is free, 
unbranded version or RHEL) have gotten better at keeping the sound 
system activated.
