Getting sound working on ECS A097 under Debian Etch

I had my machine installed with Debian Etch minimal install. Looks like by default alsa-base et al are not installed by default. Anyway, to get sound working on this machine and distribution, just do:

~: su 
#: apt-get install alsa-base alsa-utils

and off you go. Also visit the following links for more information http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?t=21180 http://newbiedoc.berlios.de/wiki/Sound_in_Debian_GNU/Linux ~ts
