Mandrake 9.1 Finally

I finally got Mandrake 9.1 up and running on my print server and special thanks to Kevin for gimping me along on getting my soundcard working.

For some reason it is really slow copying data across Samba shares from my PVR to my PRNTSRV. I will have to look into it. I thought we would never get my soundcard working. It is a very old Diamond Sonic Impact, Diamond got bought out by Creative years ago, so there were never drivers released for Linux, thus they had to be reverse engineered. So after much turmoil we found a forum post with some commands to force the driver to be used even though it was compiled with GCC 2 while my kernel is compiled with GCC 3. Bleh

We just got back from the gym, so we are eating a late lunch.I have a roast in the crock pot right now sowe will have a tasty dinner ready in about 4 hours, and I think we still have 9 movies to watch.

We are still broke so we can’t go see any movies until next week. Grrrr. There are a pantload of movies that I want to see at the theater, Dreamcatcher, The Core, Head of State and Tears of the Sun. I guess Kelly and I will have to pack a lunch next week and do some theater hopping.

My mind is a complete blank.
