RPM Package Manager (RPM) is a powerful command line driven package management system capable of installing, uninstalling, verifying, querying, and updating computer software packages. Each software package consists of an archive of files along with information about the package like its version, a description, and the like. There is also a library API, permitting advanced developers to manage such transactions from programming languages such as C or Python. RPM is free software, released under the GNU GPL. YUM is an automatic updater and package installer/remover for rpm systems. It automatically computes dependencies and figures out what things should occur to install packages. It makes it easier to maintain groups of machines without having to manually update each one using rpm. Yum has a plugin interface for adding simple features. Yum can also be used from other python programs via its module interface.

Suntan Special autmatically installs the bootstrap, but installing Yum itself is a manual step. The user must look at any error messages to decide if the installation succeeded. Once yum is installed, a reboot is needed for PATH and LIBPATH changes to take effect.

What you need to do is to FIRST uninstall the existing audio drivers by unpacking USBAUDIO.ZIP, running "minstall" and selecting 0 devices. After a reboot, you rerun the installation again by running "minstall" and this time, by selecting 1 device. If after an additional reboot you still hear no sound, open the "Multimedia Setup" object and select the USB Audio and Ampmix drivers as default devices by unselecting and the reselecting that setting. You should now hear sound without the need of an additional reboot.
