The command paths are different for root and normal users. Using 'su'
promotes you to root, but doesn't run the login procedures which would
set the path. If you use 'su' try doing 'su -' (the trailing '-' will
cause it to act as a login process). Alternatively, find where the
command lives ('which adsl-start' as root) and specify the full path
when you run it.

If the directory is empty, then the partition is probably not mounted.
The 'mount' command without arguments will tell you what's currently
mounted.
I'll let someone else address the printer, sound and display issues.
