jared,

looks like man moduels-update doesn't work

but went ahead and added the alias' you mentioned to
modules.conf anyway and tried to continue with the
instructions, no luck really.

here's what i typed and the output.

root@slackware:/etc# man modules-update
No manual entry for modules-update
root@slackware:/etc# gedit modules.conf
root@slackware:/etc# /etc/init.d/alsasound restart
-bash: /etc/init.d/alsasound: No such file or
directory
root@slackware:/etc# alsamixer
No mixer elems found

root@slackware:/etc#
----

here is what modules.conf says now:
root@slackware:/etc# cat modules.conf

# --- BEGIN: Generated by ALSACONF, do not edit. ---
# --- ALSACONF verion 1.0.5 ---
alias char-major-116 snd
alias char-major-14 soundcore
alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss
alias snd-card-0 snd-atiixp
alias sound-slot-0 snd-atiixp
alias /dev/mixer snd-mixer-oss
alias /dev/dsp snd-pcm-oss
alias /dev/midi snd-seq-oss
# --- END: Generated by ALSACONF, do not edit. ---

root@slackware:/etc#


thanks,

mike h
