Well, before I attack the sound, I must have it working well enough for email 
to work, and when I next boot it, I will likely concentrate on that before I 
come crawling back for help with the silent audio.  Once email is working, 
and I have moved my /root/.mozilla here to /me/.mozilla on the mandriva 
install and fixed any perms that discloses, then I'll be ready to rumble on 
this.  Thanks Colin.
