For a starter, you should install the kernel-package and read the README file in /usr/doc/kernel-package/. Then you should go over to the /usr/doc/HOWTO/Sound-HOWTO. This should bring you so far to be able to compile the kernel. When configuruing the kernel, a lot of questions will be asked. You should read the help sections, and answer them more or less appropriate. > > I think you can get sound out of that by selecting MSS, MPU401 and OPL-3 > > options and using isapnptools to initialize the chip.

The kernel-source is independent from the kernel-headers. libc6 needs a special version of kernel-headers (is this still true, Manoj ?), and you should keep dselects choice. Install kernel-source 2.0.32, it is more stable then 2.0.33. Then go to /usr/src/linux (or /usr/src/kernel-source-2.0.32) and do: make config (or make menuconfig for better interface). After answering all the questions (you have most of the time three choices, *Y*es, *N*o and *M*odule, answer "M" when asked for sound support), you can do: make-kpkg --revision custom.1.0 kernel_image After some time (half an hour), you have a complete *.deb package of your kernel in /usr/src.
