We'll assume that also means that you don't need the ide on 15. If you shut off ide1, the serial and parallel ports {Soundblaster and PAS always use 5 {or 7} and you can push {reserve} other {isa, unplug and play, etc...} stuff up to the higher IRQs you may be able to clear up enough space for the Maudio card. {and your hd} If there are other peripherals that aren't showing up and you don't need them... turn them off. {You don't really need a floppy if that's what the ide thing {I doubt it} is... I've set up many systems using a cd to boot/rescue with. It's not ever been any real problem.} If your bios really doesn't offer you the option to switch things around you can always do it in software. I've not run Slackware for 7-8 years... frankly I've forgotten how. None of the Systems {Suse, Redhat, Mandrake, Debian and lots of variants and versions {currently, I'm banging my head against the wall with HURD {it's actually fairly simple... I've just not had the time to read all of the set up stuff.}} I've run in the past 5 or so years has "given me the option". Slackware's really tough and it's not going to get a lot easier. It's made for folk that *really* know linux/unix, etc... {and masochists}. My suggestion would be to either buy or download Redhat, set it up and save the configs for the rest of the time you own the board. Alternately, {and probably better} there's a very small Debian distribution that's really easy and pretty sure fire. {Somewhere at http://www.debian.org } It's ~15o megs and gives you an entire system. Everything else you can set up over the 'net with dselect or apt-get. {Stick to stable for a couple months} >I have no idea why nothing is mapped to 3, 5, or 7.
