knowing when the computer is booted

[Tom and Esther Ward]

Hello, Roy.
You mentioned you have an AC-97 chipset. Do not, repeat, do not use the oss
drivers for the AC-97 chipset as they are buggy and do not work as well as
the alsa drivers. Fortunately, for me when I installed Drake 9.2 it
installed the alsa ac-97 drivers for my card by default, my sound card works
very well.
If you can go to the alsa project web site and download compile and install
the alsa drivers. I think you will be alot happier with the results.
Hth.
