Hello,

on my quest for a Linux to play around with, I luckily came across Knoppix -- what a beauty! One of the most amazing pieces of software I have seen in a long life with computers...

And it worked for me straight out of the box, ADSL connection and all. Download, burn, boot, ready. Amazing!
Thanks to the creator(s)!

Only one snag: On my Dell Dimension 8250, the sound card (SB Live) is correctly recognized, but it's not taken into use. I read somewhere here that the BIOS setting "PnP O/S" has to be set to "no" -- but unfortunately, the very minimalistic Dell BIOS (v. A01) menu does not offer this (or any other PnP related) setting. (They seem to have great faith in PnP...)
I also tried "knoppix alsa", but to no avail.

Now what? Is there a work-around?

And where would I look (in Knoppix logfiles, etc.) for a more detailed diagnosis of what the actual problem is?
Need I run sndconfig? (If so , where to find instructions?)

Thanks in advance for any pointers.

Cheers,
Martin
