Fedora 8 Test3 and lack of sound settings in a firstboot

[Marcin Zajączkowski]

Hi again,

In Fedora 7 there was a sound detection step in a firstboot. It's
missing in 7.92. Was it regarded as useless or there were problems with
integration with PulseAudio?

Regards
Marcin

Pretty much regarded as useless.

I found it useful.  If no sound is produced, it prompts you to send
some debug files off to bugzilla (which I didn't do as the debug info
was sufficient to determine that someone else already had done).  I've
also had an entertaining time in the past where some processes have
prevented other processes accessing the sound card.  At first boot, I
am as as confident as I can be that that this isn't the case.
