Thanks, Chris. That makes it available in the archives again. On a related topic, some time ago I reported the bug that makes it overwrite modules.conf, but MandrakeSoft have changed the bug reporting regime, and in doing so have closed bugs that have not been voted for recently. This is the message I got from them: http://bugs.mandrakelinux.com/query.php?bug=1031 - --- 1031 2004-12-24 01:05:33.000000000 +0100 +++ 1031.tmp.Yme2mA 2004-12-24 01:05:33.000000000 +0100 @@ -1,7 +1,7 @@ Bug# : 1031 Product : Mandrake Linux 10.0 Version : x86 - -Status : NEW +Status : CLOSED Priority : Normal Component : alsa-utils URL : @@ -23,3 +23,12 @@ This bug has been reassigned to [EMAIL PROTECTED] +Comment posted: 2004-12-24 01:05 AM by [EMAIL PROTECTED] + +If this report is still valid, please re-report it to Bugzilla: + +http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/ + +Thank you. + + If you could report to Bugzilla that it is still valid it would be helpful.
