HD Install :: n00b questions...

I installed to my new laptop ( [URL=http://www.ciao.co.uk/Compaq_Armada_1573D5374341[/URL] ) (233MHz, 96mt ram, usb etc)

But now I have some questions...:

how I get sound card work?
It is possible to get smartjoy plus work via usb?
it is possible to get those 4 hot keys to work?
And infrared/mmc card reader (insmat)? To move files from nokia 3660 and etc...

Please answer...

Search the forum on "Compaq sound" and you should find something. I really had a time getting sound to work on my Armada. It should be simple to do a modprobe sb but my sound card was turned off in the bios. I had to rebuild a compaq partition on the harddrive and install the compaq utilities to turn it back on.
