I'd ignore these scripts in a Debian world. First, I'd use APT to install the ALSA userspace. If you're using a stock kernel, there are probably precompiled ALSA modules to go with it; if not, install alsa-source, unpack /usr/src/alsa-driver.tar.gz, and then go to the top directory of your kernel tree and run 'make-kpkg modules-image --added-modules=alsa-driver'. (Assuming, of course, that you used kernel-package to compile your kernel in the first place.) This produces an alsa-modules-*.deb in the parent directory of your source tree; install it using 'dpkg -i'. (Comment: the same pretty much applies for any add-on kernel module. Caveat: I only know for sure that modules exist in unstable for 2.4.19 kernels, modules don't necessarily exist for any particular module for any particular kernel. But you're golden if you're building your own kernel. And you might even be able to use the 0.9.0rc6 ALSA source out of unstable, with some luck.) -- David Maze [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://people.debian.org/~dmaze/ "Theoretical politics is interesting.
