I'm not sure exactly how I solved it - I did use sudo to compile but the problem persisted (space is not a problem) and so I did "make dep" before "make-kpkg clean" which seemed to overcome the initial errors but on the compile it hung on the Altivec option. In xconfig, it wouldn't let me indicate Y,M or N for altivec and so I went into "make config" and input "Y" and the compile worked. So I'm now running "2.4.23-pre5-ben0 #1 SMP" and very happy about that;) I have sound and can hopefully get all the other bits working - thanks Ben ;) Another bonus is that my Macally keyboard lights for Num|Caps|Scroll lock seem to be functioning properly. The stock kernel made them all come on on the first lock press and stay on - weird ;) Regards Clive -- http://www.clivemenzies.co.uk strategies for business
