I have installed pclinuxos(version 0.92 7676nvidia) to my harddrive.I know of the forum there at pclinuxos.com,
I joined this forum as well to gain all the possible help I can.I will need it.Hopefully,the different distro will not
prevent me on getting help at this forum.
Problem:No sound at all.Graphics work excellent.
From the time I was using the livecd and even now after a install to the harddrive,
I recieve the following error:device/dev/dsps does not exist,sound server will continue as null.
