Surely you must be mistaken? I don't necessarily expect HardDrake or Yast - but sndconfig surely isn't asking too much. I had wondered why KDE in my recently installed FBSD 4.4 OS kept coming up with a warning about an unconfigured sound card - and I couldn't find a configuration utility.

If you are correct, newbies will surely need all the luck the can find! -- Regards, Brian To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
