Seems like some people on the list skipped over that bit about no sound.

I'm going to try and see if your kernel has ALSA in it. (It may help if
you tell us what kernel version you are using. try 'uname -a')

Can you give us the output of the following commands

$ ls /proc/asound/
(If you get a 'No such file or directory' error message then don't
bother continuing with the next commands
$ cat /proc/asound/cards
$ cat /proc/asound/oss/sndstat
$ cat /proc/asound/pcm

These should let us know if you have alsa in the kernel (I am going from
what is on my computer so it may not work)

I thought the latest version had audio support. Can anyone verify this?
