[LUAU] Fedora Core 2 and Silence

[Ben Beeson]

Warren,

	Thanks for your note.  Just for grins I have tried the
system-config-soundcard a few times.  Always I get a "No Soundcard
Detected" answer back.  Would a better fix be to copy the contents of my
/etc/modules.conf to the /etc/modprobe.conf file?  Right now that file
has only one entry, and that is for my network adapter. There are no
alsa driver entries for my card in the /etc/modprobe.conf.dist file.  If
that is a better place for them, I can place them there also. For now
though sound is working again. 

Mahalos again,

Ben
