That's not a bad idea. We already have the problem that the ALSA drivers in the kernel-image packages are out of date relative to the ALSA libraries in alsa-lib. (Currently, the drivers in kernel-image-2.6.8 are version 1.0.4 but alsa-lib in sarge is version 1.0.8.) Omitting the ALSA drivers from kernel-image packages would solve this problem by forcing people to install up-to-date alsa-modules packages.

Currently we only build them for 2.4 kernels, though. -- Thomas Hood -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
