At this atge I didn't make the distrib "installable" (that is I didn't
the files listing the packages).  I just uploaded things who were
sleeping in my disk, replaced old packages with new ones, ensured every
source packageas there and so on.
Purpose was allowing testing of individual packages


However the problems you have wern't supposed to happen (see below).

Use sndconfig.  It does a nice job, of course you card has to be
supported.

At this time the install present in the site is the original from RedHat
6.1 so it is supposed to work.  Only things I could think too is that
you choose the wrong boot disk.

Indy will not use an install basedd on 6.1 because I think 50 megs of
scarce CD space is too much to pay for a graphical install.  Until we
get time for making it support more than one CD I prefer using the space
for additional application programs and base on the 6.0 non graphical
installer.

Yes.

We have had to close the list (due to spamming) so now it will not
accept messages from people not subscribed
