Alsa Bug and Successful Fix; can this be put into the ISO?

The short version is that when I first installed Puppy on this system, I could get the original sound card to play initially. But when I rebooted, I had to re-detect and reload the sound card driver to get it to work again.

In the middle of all this, the original Vectra sound card died. I got lucky and scored an ISA Soundblaster card on Amazon.com of all places, for $10. After installation, it played just fine. But when I rebooted, the original problem was still there; it wouldn't play until I reinstalled the driver.

I looked at the modprobe.conf file, but the correct driver reference was there, so I figured that it had to be an alsa problem. After some searching, I found:

http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=37800

which recommended this:

"Add the command listed below and put this line in your /etc/rc.d/rc.local file.
Code:
/etc/rc.d/rc.alsa start"

I did this, rebooted, and immediately played music without reloading the driver and with no other problems.

This is an extraordinarily simple fix that has been a problem for some others. I understand something about software testing, but it's pretty simple. Can we edit this file in the ISO?

Thanks to all; this is a great system!
