I am running 3 potato systems with 2.4.x and have no problems. I'm also running an unstable system with 2.4.1. Again, no problems. In order to run 2.4.x on stable you'll need to upgrade your modutils package. I've made an upgraded modutils package available at http://locust.lcs.mit.edu/~noahm/modutils. KDE 2.0 does not depend on any kernel stuff, and works just fine with 2.4.x. I have it installed on my unstable system and it works just fine. I can't comment on the kernel driver for your sound card. noah -- _______________________________________________________ | Web: http://web.morgul.net/~frodo/ | PGP Public Key: http://web.morgul.net/~frodo/mail.html
