I apologize in advance for being such a newbie at Linux, but I do know a little.
I managed to install the Debian base set along with X11, and got it all up and running, even got the Afterstep package up, that was easy and straightforward. When I tried to recompile the kernel to add in sound support, things started to get weird. I have used Slackware in the past (i didn't like it at all) and I got the sound up and running fine. When I download the kernel-source package, and get all the compilers and everything that I *think* I need and install them, running 'make config' works fine until I get to the sound card section. After asking several sound card questions, I get error messages stating that stdio.h and 4 other *.h files could not be found. If anyone could suggest to me how to start fresh, what packages to DL and what commands to run to get a sound supporting kernel, I'd be very happy. I think Debian is pretty cool, and hopefully its users are supportive on this ML.. =) Jason Westervelt [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
