slackware probs (mostly sound.. mostly)

Kali

Installed slackware 7.1 the other day.. everything seems to be alright cept for one or two little things:

1) slackware seems to be void of redhats **** easy sndconfig tool.. whats the procedure for making it see the soundcard?its some ensoniq/sbpci 128 or similar crap..

2) Any way to have my cd writer seen as a normal cd drive? cos mount doesn't seem to like iso9660 in fstab..

If anybody has any clue about any of the above cheers

Unix is a paradox for me, but ring DnC next week and ask for Gav, he might know something

You might want to try modprobe es1371 or maybe cd /lib/modules/2.2.16/
ls misc
and insmod misc/es1370.o or insmod misc/1371.o and if one of those modules goes in then you might just want set /etc/rc.d/rc.modules to possibly modprobe for the right sound module on boot and for the cdrom you could be looking for something like insmod fs/isofs.o or sumthing?
good luck
may the force be with you

*shudder*
Gawd I keep forgetting how irritating linux can be...
anyway, little thing from memory (perhaps corrupt) generally the way to solve this is
to add somthing like "alias sound es1371" to /etc/modules.conf
Then the kernel know which module to use when you want to use the sound device and can load/unload the module as needed.


Its all much of a muchness really

<edit> Or is it /etc/conf.modules ... *shrug* </edit>
