Okay. I guess I didn't understand what's going on. I assumed that they could find enough info and build a kernel.
They provide a i686 which will work with AMD so it uses that (and not the SMP one!) - correct? Right now I want XFS as first priority. Once I get that I do whatever else I want later. I did run /sbin/sndconfig and it doesn't find my sound card. It lists Turtle Beach but older models. I'll worry about that later - probably when I build the new kernel. I'll work with this and see what I can do from here. Maybe one day RH will add XFS. Thanks. > On 11/03/2002 07:26 PM, Brett I.
