Q: Sound doesn't seem to be working. How do I turn it on?
To get sound working. Simply type: modprobe dmasound This will activate sound immediately. Do use a mixer program to verify that levels are set properly (i.e.: that the volume isn't turned all the way down). To make sure sound is activated on every boot, add the line:
alias sound dmasound
to your (probably empty) /etc/conf.modules file.

In order to shutdown I usually log out of X then at the promp type "shutdown -r now" for a restart and "shutdown -h now" for a total system shutdown.
