I have been using Mandrake 7 for quite a few weeks but have encountered a few problems which someone out there may be able to throw some light on to, 1. Configuring the sound system defies the instructions provided. I believe that someone on the list had a similar problem and managed to get a fix for it. The Sound Card is an Ensonic card which claims to be able to do a legacy SB-16 emulation. I have copied the parameters for the card from the Windoze System, but to no avail. Asking Creative about this brings the usual ---we do not support--- routine 2. If I log-on to the Internet using Netscape 4.7 and want to access another program, it is not possible. If however I load up one or two Konsole windows, and minimise them in advance of logging on to the Internet this works fine unless I inadvertantly close the Terminal Window(s) after which I am locked out of Konsole. 3. Sometimes when attempting to download a .pdf file from the net, the system simply locks up solid, and requires a power down reboot. Any or all suggestions will be gratefully received, Len Bird
