Yep, OK. I was missing the 'ldconfig' part in the sequence of tasks. The good
news is that it seemd to alocate the path correctly but the bad news is that
the system then crashed and now will not reboot, it hangs up on  'Do not
recognise library files .....' and the just sits there until i switch it of.
Rescue disc does the same! Help!

Sorry, the error message was implied as it was exactly the same error as
previously had occured. eg. could not find crt1.o

I can confirm that both the sound card and USB port are using the same
interrupt.IRQ5. The USB  is a PCI device, it is my understanding that a PCI
device needs an IRQ change through the Bios. Is this true? My Bios simply
allows USB to be enabled or desabled, no IRQ allocation to be found. Similarly
the souncard IRQ cannot be changed. How can I change the IRQ allocation?

By the way the  soundcard has a VIA chipset and is soundblaster 16 compatable.
