The beauty of KNOPPIX-like distributions is that you can run them from CD/DVD without installation and kernel compilation, so it's really easy and quick to try. _______________________________________________ Alsa-user mailing list Alsa-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-user
