2001-11-21 Thread Gordon Paynter
Hi all; I'm new to compiling kernels, and need a little advice. I have a iBook 2001 (600Mhz). My problem is thus: When I use the woody kernel (2.2.19-pmac) I have networking and no X, and when I use a BenH kernel (2.4.15-pre2-ben0) I have X and no networking. I want to build my own kernel that

Hi all, I'm having trouble getting Audio CDs to play on my iBook2 (2001, 600Mhz) in xmms. MP3s are fine (especially since the kmix people have been doing such a good job) but Audio CD tracks don't work. If anyone can give me a spot of advice, I'd appreciate it. Background: The reason for Audi
