I am trying to learn Linux from the top down. So I dug out my very old Toshiba Satellite 305CDS laptop and installed Mandrake 9.2 on it. Everything works great even though its been like trying to read chinese without the book. hehe
I've got my video working great, PCMCIA modem perfect, etc. etc.
Except my sound. I have absolutely no idea on how to get this to work. Again, I'm new to linux so I am asking for guidance.
Is there an application in setup that will allow me to find new hardware? I went to the hardware setup and audio was not listed.
Here are the specs from Toshiba for this pig:
Model name/No. DynaBook Satellite 305/300 / PA1261xx
Processor MMX Pentium 166MHz
Memory(MAX) 32MB(96MB)
HDD 6.4GB
Display Display 12.1inch TFT /DSTN 800x600
Display controller C&T B65555
Video RAM 2MB
Sound PCI
PC Card controller CardBus x2
USB 1port
Anyone ever install something on this? Yes, its old. But this is just a test bed. I figure if I can get this flying trashcan working, maybe my main system wont be so hard. Oh...and so far I'm enjoying the learning of linux. Its a blast.
