[TriLUG] Two unrelated questions: ALSA and fortune

[Brian Henning]

Actually, I discovered for my particular case it turned out to be as 
simple as setting my mixer settings, then executing
% alsactl store

once to store the settings.  Voila!

Thanks for the tips though!

Still tinkering with the fortunes all being in Italian..  Removing 
fortunes-it didn't do it..  They're ALL in Italian, except for the Zippy 
ones.

Cheers,
~Brian
