roberts,

I said the alsa.dsl worked and it did, thanks for putting in the system mydsl. I tried to do the boot code alsa along with my NODHCP Very Happy and when I was watching the computer boot up I saw the alsa string go by but it didn't seem to work because I still had to do the alsaconfig thing. That is no problem because I really don't use the sound yet. I did put the alsa.dsl in my a directory and it was in my mydsl which loaded so all I had to do was click on it and it did the alsaconfig thing. Just so you know what happened for future info, it didn't detect my sound card as a pnp and I had to do the, "do you want to scan for legacy cards" or something really close, I am not at my laptop right now. It did then find the sound card and configured and loaded what ever it needed to and the sound worked great. Thanks, if I were paying you for this support I would owe you a ton of money, so thanks because I do know you have a life and always having to try and figure our my problems must get old.

I have one last, or at this point, question. I have now tried to play a . with your OS. I put in a dvd and was really excited to see how it played with MPlayer. Well, I can't figure out what happened. I tried the mount tool for the cd drive. I got an error message about having to pick a file system or something, again because I am not at my computer I can't remember the error message. OK, now I know I can fix this because I use debian testing on my desktop. Well, I went into the fstab and, hell, everything looked correct. the fs was set to auto so with dsl-n set off knoppix, the auto fs should have worked. Any ideas? I have vfat set for one partition and ext2 for another and the cd drive set at auto. What did I screw up this time.

Thanks,

redleg

The Alsa sound is a mydsl extension that was created by user clacker from the dsl forums. I just tweaked it a little to make it work for me.
It is configured from the menu as you have already noted.

To play a dvd from mplayer, you need not mount anything.
Place your dvd in the player, start mplayer and click the dvd menu item and then open disc menu item item.
