I forgot. Now that I'm at kernel 2.6 then ALSA should be available. Oh nooooooooo, I have to figure this out. so remaining tasks: 1. ALSA 2. "true" upgrade to either FC2 or FC3. The yum "upgrade" upgraded packages but I am not at FC2 according to when I boot. I still see "Yarrow", not "Tettnang". The fun continues. Thanks for the bandwidth. =G On Mon, 2004-10-04 at 21:34, W.
