OK, I have figured a little more out. Damn, I wish I had taken a course on this in college or something, it's tough to learn on your own. Thanks for your help
THe kernel source would naturally be 2.4.18, not as I thought 2.4.28-bf2.4. I have since found how to apt-get and install a different kernel image other than bf2.4, and was running one with SMP and optimized for 686. However, my goofey attempts at making the alsa module and a custom kernel really made the compiler wacky, and I foresee another reinstall in my future, unless I can figure out how to reset everything -- for example, I apt-get remove'd the alsa-source, then reinstalled, but debconf didn't pop up, and as far as my kernel is concerned there is nothing to configure. I am not learning by leaps and bounds but rather dribbles. Again, thanks for the help, it would be a lost effort without some aid...in a few days I think I may have it! ---- Message posted via www.linuxforums.org . -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
