[Trinux-news] Listen to mp3s while you sniff/scan/build packets

[Matthew F. <mf...@ci...>]

Because I didn't feel like doing any *real* work on Trinux (like
documentation) I've release several relatively useless packages:

sound.tgz - kernel modules and sound /dev's for sound cards and amp ( a
*very* simple mp3 player )

modutil.tgz - insmod, modprobe, depmod

a 2.2.17 kernel image with modular sound support is available at
http://www.io.com/~mdfranz/trinux/kernel/bzImage/

If for some ungodly reason you, too, want sound support on Trinux, I
recommend adding the necessary commands to probe the kernel modules
(modprobe sound, insmod mpu401, insmod uart401...) to the /tux/init/last
on the boot floppy. 

Its up to you to get it working. IMHO, sound cards under Linux are a big
pain.

Oh yeah, if anyone has any favor console mp3 players (or napster clients)  
they can recommend, let me know and I'll consider adding more useless
packages.
