Whew, good to be back in Linux!

Is there a program in DSL that will tell me where all of my hardware addresses, similar to the systems control panel in Windows?

I pretty much need the address of my soundcard, its at a non standard port and I ned to know where it is. is there a comand I can give or somehow access the OSS driver?

Much thanks in advance!

Run "dmesg|more" (without quotes) at the command line, this will list all boot messages which may help. You can also look through the files in /proc.

I looked in the /proc directory and I found it. IT said its I/O was at 0xef3f. Is that hex, and if it is, would that be the same if I where running MS-DOS?

Thanks!
