-Installation
-------------
-
-IMPORTANT!	Read this if you are installing a separately
-		distributed version of this driver.
-
-		Check that your kernel version works with this
-		release of the driver (see Readme). Also verify
-		that your current kernel version doesn't have more
-		recent sound driver version than this one. IT'S HIGHLY
-		RECOMMENDED THAT YOU USE THE SOUND DRIVER VERSION THAT
-		IS DISTRIBUTED WITH KERNEL SOURCES.
-
-- When installing separately distributed sound driver you should first
-  read the above notice. Then try to find proper directory where and how
-  to install the driver sources. You should not try to install a separately
-  distributed driver version if you are not able to find the proper way
-  yourself (in this case use the version that is distributed with kernel
-  sources). Remove old version of linux/drivers/sound directory before
-  installing new files.
-
-- To build the device files you need to run the enclosed shell script 
-  (see below). You need to do this only when installing sound driver
-  first time or when upgrading to much recent version than the earlier
-  one.
-
-- Configure and compile Linux as normally (remember to include the
-  sound support during "make config"). Please refer to kernel documentation
-  for instructions about configuring and compiling kernel. File Readme.cards
-  contains card specific instructions for configuring this driver for
-  use with various sound cards.
-
-Boot time configuration (using lilo and insmod) 
------------------------------------------------
-
-This information has been removed. Too many users didn't believe
-that it's really not necessary to use this method. Please look at
-Readme of sound driver version 3.0.1 if you still want to use this method.
-
-Problems
---------
-
-If you have any kind of problems, there is a debugging feature which
-could help you to solve the problem. To use it, just execute the
-command:
-
-	cat /dev/sndstat 
-
-and look at the output. It should display some useful info about the
-driver configuration. If there is no /dev/sndstat 
-(/dev/sndstat: No such file or directory), ensure that you have executed the
-soundinstall script (at the end of this file).
-
-Common error messages:
-
-- /dev/???????: No such file or directory.
-Run the script at the end of this file.
-
-- /dev/???????: No such device.
-You are not running kernel which contains the sound driver. When using
-modularized sound driver this error means that the sound driver is not
-loaded.
-
-- /dev/????: No such device or address.
-Sound driver didn't detect suitable card when initializing. Please look at
-Readme.cards for info about configuring the driver with your card. Also
-check for possible boot (insmod) time error messages in /var/adm/messages.

-SURPRISE SURPRISE!!!
-
-The device file creation script that used to be here earlier is 
-obviously not here any more.
-
-Why?
-
-Because you do not need it. All Linux distributions have the
-device files properly created (yes they are) so you should not
-try to run any scripts which create them.
