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
