Finally I have time to get my video and modem to work.

It was a great help with those responses

One of the problem I am still having right now is my sound card.  It was
worked fine before until I put switch it to the newly built system (same
RedHat version 5.2).    The card is Creative SB 32 PnP.   When I use
sndconfig to setup, I have the following error message "failed to open
/dev/audio"   Any idea?

Thanks
