speaking lynix install?

[Brent Harding]

Hmmmm, it doesn't seem to do much of anything for me. I get the sound at a 
low volume (wish I could turn it up) but control-alt-f1 and typing in orca 
and hitting enter does nothing. The system I use linux on has an SBLive 
value sound card in it. I always knew that card was a linux nightmare in the 
high school days 5-6 years ago, but surely thought support got better.
