ok. here it is.
once you've loaded a module, does it stay loaded? and if not, is there a way I can have it loaded permenantly short of recompiling the kernel?
I know it's probably been tossed up before but I'm not sure about these things.
Oh btw still having ethernet troubles but once I get em sorted out, I'll be here with my slackware in toe <laughing>.

If you want the module to be loaded every time you restart the system, put the command to load it in /etc/rc.d/rc.local.

Actually now that memory is serving me, if he's using Slackware, he could
actually uncomment the correct line in /etc/rc.d/rc.modules and be sure to
specify the proper commandline parmeters.

ok guys got it all sorted out now. I uncommented the line in
/etc/rc.d/rc.modules to support the sblive
now, how do I give the user shauno audio permissions?

OK, do:

ls -l /dev/dsp0

/dev/dsp should be a link to /dev/dsp0.  Look to see what group has access
to it.  If it's root, use chgrp to make it something else, like audio.
Probably a good idea to look in /etc/group to see if audio exists.  On my
system, /dev/dsp0 was owned by group audio by default.

Now, you want to make sure you have read/write access for root and audio,
but no-one else.  So you'd do something like this:

chmod 660 /dev/dsp0

or

chmod ug=rw,o= /dev/dsp0

This should give /dev/dsp0 permissions that look like crw-rw----

Now, all you need to do is put yourself in the audio group.  Edit
/etc/group and find the line that starts with audio.  It will look
something like this:

audio:x:29:

Put a comma-seperated list of users that you want to appear in this group
after the final colon, without spaces (this is very important or it won't
work).  So you'd put:

audio:x:29:shauno

You can verify that this has worked by issuing the groups command as that
user.  If you wanted more users there, you';d put a comma directly after
shauno and put the next name, no spaces.  e.g.

audio:x:29:shauno,geoff

Using these steps, root plus anyone in the group audio will be able to read
(i.e. record from) and write to (i.e. play) audio.  You'll probably want to
do the same with /dev/audio0 as well.

Hope this makes some sense.

Geoff.
