A cable modem is your friend (or is it the other way around?). Planet
CCRMA does not really work over dialup unless you are VERY patient...

Hmmm, no, I sort of define it that way because I build all new packages
with all the redhat updates installed (up to that point in time). 

You do not really need to have network connectivity for the updates if
you dowload the updates iso cdrom for rh8, it should include all the
needed stuff.

Welcome to the club! (of people rebuilding things for the nth time and

Or point to the Planet CCRMA repository and get the updates from there.
All the same.

yes, but i'm connected to CCRMA by a 56kB dialup, and using apt for
this is not really feasible ... i've collected all the pieces i need
for ardour step by step, and eventually i'll use a friend's cable
modem to get the ISO's.

its not 0xb firmware thats a problem, its hex 20 or dec 20 hardware
... the driver doesn't recognize it. as usual, RME did tell me they
were bringing out a new h/w version.

[jfm3]

Don't run up2date, just use apt. There should be a full set of updates
for redhat in the apt index on CCRMA's servers.

apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade

Do this in between the "install apt on your RH box" and "install Planet
CCRMA magic kernel RPM package" steps.

P.S. There's a new version of hdsploader (1.1) for that 0xb firmware
HDSP. I just hacked it in without RPM on my machine. It will get updated
for real at some future date when Planet CCRMA gets new ALSA packages.
1.1 works OK unless you run it twice by accident.

Connect it to the net for security reasons?  Are you quite sure?

Yes, you should do that anyway for security reasons.

yeah, but you can't use up2date on a machine not connected to the
internet. so a machine configured without being updated (i.e. not
really 8.0 anymore) doesn't have glibc 2.3. i supposed RH are defining
8.0 as "8.0 plus any updates we say are part of 8.0 ...". sigh.

i rebuilt the RPMs from nando's SRPMs. 

and now i just found out that i have a brand new Hammerfall DSP with a
revision number not recognized by the driver. this means i would have
to install the entire kernel source RPM (27MB!) from the planet, plus
the alsa kernel SRPM, edit the source code, and then rebuild ALSA (you
can't rebuild ALSA without the relevant kernel source installed). sigh
again, doubled.

still, at least i can justify being paid to do this :) and i have to
say that the Linux Audio Systems splash screens for Grub and for GDM
look pretty nice! i get a warm feeling inside seeing these things on
such a superb machine :)

i guess i should get it connected to the net, and run up2date as well,
eh?

[Werner Johansson]

I got it installed as well, but in my case it got automatically downloaded
by apt (as part of the apt-get dist-upgrade)

Seems like glibc-2.3.2 is a part of the redhat update packages.
Its certainly here at least:
