After getting the sound working (thanks Timothy!) now I have two more issues with my Compaq V2000 laptop/CentOS 4beta: -The time/date does not seem to get stored. I change it everyday but it just doesn't seem to save it, the next time I reboot I get a date in Jan and the time goes back at least 4 hours (it doesn't seem to be a fixed amount). I would just run ntpd but the computer is not always online. Any suggestions? Sometimes it complains about not being able to access rtc on shutdown. -Changing the mouse settings (a synaptic pad) so I can have left click on tap instead of middle click crashes the computer solid (not even a ping), no log. -Are there any apt sources for Beta4? None of the lists I have found work and most of them don't even seem to mirror beta.caosity.org (and knowing what the bandwidth bill came up to I'd rather not use the main server). -glib-config is missing from glib-devel. This seems to be a RHEL bug (at least judging by my searches) that can be fixed by installin the Fedora Core 3 rpm. Apart from that I have to say that CentOS is the only distribution I have gotten to work on this computer and that it is looking very good.
