If you're in Linux, then you can simply highlight the text with the left mouse button, and then past it into the text box of your browser with the middle mouse button. Make sure that you do not hightlight anything else in the mean time.

Hello, It's done but a got reading like this:

Sound server informational message:
Error while initializing the sound driver:
device /dev/dsp can't be opened (No such device)
The sound server will continue, using the null output device.
I change le permission eith chmod and I got this:
crw-rw-rw- 1 nibou root 14, 3 Aug 30 19:31 dev/dsp
crw-rw-rw- 1 nibou root 14, 19 Aug 30 19:31 dev/dsp1
crw-rw-rw- 1 nibou root 55, 0 Aug 30 19:31 dev/dsp56k


Redhat detect the VIA VT8233 chip but somehow it won't work!
Any suuggestion?
Thanks!!!!
