> I'm running Mandrake Linux 9.2 with Gnome. I suggest you add a urpmi source for Thac's RPMs. As root, type: urpmi.addmedia thacs.rpms http://rpm.nyvalls.se/9.2/RPMS with hdlist.cz Then type: urpmi kernel-multimedia urpmi qjackctl If it complains about missing packages, you probably need to add a 'contrib' mirror to your sources: http://urpmi.org/easyurpmi/index.php You should then be able to run Jack as a normal user by running qjackctl and checking the 'realtime' box in Setup. All the details of Thac's RPMs are at: http://rpm.nyvalls.se/sound9.2.html Cheers Daniel
