No Problem ;-)
Feel free to look me up when you're ready to give it another go.

I tried installing debian again and this time I've managed to configure my x server but now I am having problem with the sound when I start it gives the message could not initialize dsp... I have a AC97 on board soundcard and since it got detected automaticaly in RedHat I tried installing sndconfig but even that is'nt detecting my sound card. I tried searching for a driver but couldnt find one... and also how do I start in the command mode....I've tried changing the runlevel to all the runlevels possible but but keeps on booting in the graphical environment

freeman - try (as root) chmod 755 /dev/dsp
If you want to start Debian in commandline mode, remove gdm (Gnome Display Manager) or prevent it from starting up by removing it's +x attribute.
When you installed Debian, did it skip the part about detecting and (possibly) installing the sound module? If you don't remember, that's fine. Another thing to do is to examine the dmesg output and search for ac97:
Paste me the output (if any) from that so I can see what's going on at boottime.

I'm not taking anything personally, and there's no tension building within me. I'm not starting an arguement, either. What I *am* doing is letting you know that the way you spoke to freeman2381 was uncalled for and unprofessional. That's it.

Please keep this thread on track by helping freeman and others - I'm sure those with help would appreciate not having to sift through bickering to find an answer to their questions. Rants can be made in the Geek's Lounge or via PM. Thanks
