Hi Steve: Thanks, that's exactly what I needed to know. I'm also putting together a troubleshooting guide for Linux audio users, and that's the kind of stuff I need for that work too. Here's from the chkconfig report: [dlphilp@localhost dlphilp]$ chkconfig --list | grep 5:on kudzu 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off syslog 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off netfs 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off network 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off random 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off rawdevices 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off pcmcia 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off keytable 0:off 1:on 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off apmd 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off atd 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off gpm 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off autofs 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off iptables 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off isdn 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off sshd 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off portmap 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off nfslock 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off sendmail 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:off 4:on 5:on 6:off rhnsd 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off crond 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off anacron 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off xfs 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off xinetd 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off cups 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off canna 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:off 4:on 5:on 6:off alsasound 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off MidiShare 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off While some of this report is cryptic to me, I wonder about some things like the apmd, isdn, pcmcia, portmap, and sendmail entries. Am I correct to assume I can do without them at any time, i.e., not only during recording ?
