[ltp] Newbie --- Thinkpad 600, Redhat 8.0, Sound?

[A. Rick Anderson]

sndconfig is one of the "hidden" packages that are not installed by 
default.  Insert the 1st distribution CD, then go to Packages on one of the 
System menus.  If you look under the media packages, you'll spot 
sndconfig.  Click on it and it will be added.

Note: these are the general steps, i.e. the algorithm, rather then a 
precise set of mouse clicks, i.e. a recipe.
