Do you have libasound?

I would type 'qemu' but my computer will no longer boot.  (I think I need 
to replace the power supply, it does this frequently).  Perhaps it was not 
X or Abiword that caused the problem. Power on, monitor goes to green then 
yellow light again.  Might work in the morning.

Anyone know why a DVD drive (other computer) can't find a CD in it now, 
and sometimes won't open when you press the button or give software 
commands, and sometimes is not found by DOS or linux, or mplayer works 
once but next time without rebooting won't find the disk?  Would it help 
to clean the lens or replug the cable or is it electronic?

We learned that a bad CD-ROM drive can interfere with finding hard drives 
on the other controller and with booting, that the area where a partition 
table resides can go bad, and that a loose power connector can keep the 
computer from finding a hard drive (three different computers now work).
