Ok well as of now, all of the sound comes out of my system speakers.(Wich I actually thought was pretty cool at first, because I didn't know it could do anything other than beep). But now I actually need the noise to be louder than the speaker can provide and my speakers do not seem to be working automatically. How do I make them the standard rather than the system? (They are hooked up via the green cord, whatever its called, not usb)

Also, I have hooked my psp into the system through usb but I don't know how to mount it. There arn't even any options in the mount that are different from before.

(Using a frugal hd install if it makes a difference)

Just thought of a different question. Is there a file viewer available that I could use? I have used Konquorer before (spelling?) but there isn't anything like that available. Emelfm isn't quite right.

Thanks,
Soldat

Defaultly only midnight commander and emelfm are present.

You can download ROX file viewer from the myDSL repository in the downloads section. It is simple and highly reliable. Theres also a Unix file management suite (endeavour2.dsl) available in the myDSL repository.

Thanks, I'll be sure to check that out, but answers to my other questions?

Another one being, with my previous use of linux it autmatically created several partitions on my hard disk. I want to delete the other partitions and just create one. How would I go about doing this?

EDIT: Something about a checksum error is what I recieved when I tried to download rox through the MyDsl extention tool.

EDIT2: Also, I realize that linux has to create a switch partition (its called something like that anyways) but I want that to be automatically created. As of now there are like 5 partitions on my drive. I want to make it one and allow linux to make then nessasary partitions.

Select a different mirror, and/or switch protocols.

For usb mass storage devices - check for /mnt/sdXx
(then use mount /mnt/sdXx )

Easy way: disable your integrated speakers in the bios/physically
Maybe you can switch the default audio output with sndconfig (or alsaconf if that applies) - I suppose this depends if your 2nd sound system is also detectable.

Thank you so much oh linux god! *bows*

Any chance you can help out with the partitioning problem?
I know you can with fdisk, but knowing I can do it with fdisk isn't quite enough info.

I haven't tried your other things out yet, but i'm sure the will work. :cool:

EDIT: This one isn't nearly as important but, I noticed in some of the older pics that there is a small grey menu at the bottom right corner that displays all of your computer stats rather than the info being on primarily the right side of the desktop. How do I do that aswell? (get the menu at the bottom right only)
