(35kg weighs about 75 pounds on earth, for backward-thinking imperials out there. If you like imperial units, remember: In star wars, the empire loses :) I had no problems building dmasound as a module. You do need to set up your modutils so it knows to load it when something tried to use a sound device, though. put alias char-major-14 dmasound_awacs # This worked for Linus's tree? or alias char-major-14 dmasound_pmac # works for paulus and fsmlabs trees. into /etc/modutils/local.config (or any other file. I like to not add stuff to the conffiles, so I don't have to edit by hand on every upgrade of the modutils package.) Don't forget to run update-modules after you add the file. -- #define X(x,y) x##y Peter Cordes ; e-mail: X([EMAIL PROTECTED] , ns.ca) "The gods confound the man who first found out how to distinguish the hours!
