No Sound in PuppyLinux 3 - Resolved
Sound simply started working. No idea why. Removed creaking hard disk from laptop. Installed compact flash card on cf to ide laptop adapter. Installed frugal puppylinux install. Everything working and from being an old laptop strugglin with Windows 2000 Proffessional to a laptop that really flies.
