It would include files that would blacklist ALSA modules, just as alsa-base blacklists OSS modules. These packages would Conflict with each other and 2.6 kernel-image packages would Depend on their disjunction. An alternative is to drop ALSA modules from the 2.6 kernel-image packages. -- Thomas Hood -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
