My question is, how do other Fedora Core 5 users have this service on their systems? An expansion based on a previous email on this subject: their appears to be no /etc/rc.d/init.d/ directories in any of the three alsa RPM's that ship with Fedora Core 5: http://www.afolkey2.net/Projects/Files_alsa-lib-devel.txt http://www.afolkey2.net/Projects/Files_alsa-lib.txt http://www.afolkey2.net/Projects/Files_alsa-utils.txt As their appear to only be three alsa* RPM's in Fedora Core 5, do other have /etc/rc.d/init.d/alsasound because it is in some other package? Such as one that is not in Core or Extras? I'm going to check the Fedora Core 4 & Fedora Core 3 alsa RPM's to see if the file is in those. Steven P. Ulrick
