Very Computer

Here they go :

1)
I'm trying to get my Sound Blaster Vibra 16 PnP sound card to work, and
from the Sound-HowTo, I get to know that I have to recomplile the kernel to
add in the sound portion of it.

I enter the command "make config" under the console mode, but I got the
following error message : "make : *** No rule to make target 'config'.
Stop."

I tried entering "make xconfig" under X windows, but it still gives that
error. "make menuconfig" doesn't work either.

What's wrong with it??

(I entered all these commands at /usr/src/linux)

2)
fvwm runs fine for me, but it is only at 16 colors. How can I run it with
higher colors, say 256 colors, and 16bit colors??

Also, how can I make X windows start with 256 (or more) colors by default??

3)
RedHat 5.1 is on the Primary slave drive (hdb), and I have Windows 95
running on FAT32 on the Primary master drive (hda). I set the mount point
of the Windows 95 partition as /win95, and I can see this folder under the
root directory of RedHat. However, I can't seen to see any files in this
folder.

What do I need to do in order to see FAT32 partition under RedHat??

That's all I have for now, and I anticipate more in future. So if you have
any suggestions for me, or any answers, post them to the newsgroup so that
everyone benefits.

TIA.

I believe RH uses something called sndconfig ... but I manually configged
mine using isapnptools... (which, if everything went OK in your install,
you also have installed.)

eg
/dev/hda1  /win95  vfat   rw,soft   0 0
and then do
mount -a
or mount /win95
