Under 2.0, I've always configured and compiled the sound module separately, but when I used Slackware 3.0, the kernel (v2.0.27) shipped with it had the SB driver compiled in, although I never succeeded in configuring the sound driver in the kernel config. Under 2.2, there's no opportunity for configuring and/or compiling the sound module on its own, it's just like any other standard kernel driver. Too bad that I couldn't get it working with my AD1848-based Aztech card, nor could I compile the old driver for 2.2, so I'm still back on 2.0.37. Andras
