Anyonehave Mandrake working on this board?
I have it installed but can't get the sound or onboard lan to work.
Downloaded the drivers fron NVida but still won't work. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks

You need to compile them too .

 

[NitroZip]

Can't I just use a package manager to install them?

 

[Zlash]

Oh ok, rpms blah. Are the modules loaded and everything? Did you follow the instructions to alias them correctly?

 

[NitroZip]

No, I guess probably not, alias them?
Sorry, new to this

You are right, I can use google and quit using this forum completely.

Oh, by the way, what is this forum for if everyone who asks a question is told to look it up on goolge?

Sorry, just felt the need to rant.
