Since my Slackware box is dead pending HD transplant I decided to try
Mandrake 7 (coverdisk giveaway) on a spare 700 megs on my Windoze NT box.
Very nice. Very slick. It even nearly got my Trio3D/2X setup properly. A few
things it didn't do:

My network card - SMC Ultra16 (ISA non-PnP) - there is a module built for it
and I can get it working with 'modprobe smc-ultra.o' - now what's the
_proper_ way to get it set up at boot?

My sound card - Creative ViBRA16 (ISA PnP) (standard SB16 PnP) I have tried
'modprobe sb16.o' but I just get a message from isapnp giving the name of
the card but no actual text from the sb16 module about IRQs or I/Os that it
has detected. The soundcard still don't work after this. I have tried it
with PNP AWARE O/S switched on & off in the BIOS to no avail.

This may all sound a bit lame but I don't want to play with any
auto-generated scripts that would then confuse the setup programs next time
I run them.
