technically, you don't need to run the script, with one really huge catch. you need a working devfsd. with the recent devfsd update, that's not really a possibility, therefore you need the script.
if you're seriously going to use alsa, it's worth updating the 2.5 kernel's alsa with one from CVS or a recent release. the kernel version is old and crusty. if you've been watching the alsa-devel mailing list, I sent out a message a week ago asking how to do this. the quick and sloppy answer to this is: 1. download and extract alsa (tgz or cvs) and kernel 2. in /usr/src/linux-2.5.xx/sound, do: "cp -Rf /path_to_alsa/alsa-kernel/* ." 3. in /usr/src/linux-2.5.xx/include/sound, do: "cp -Rf /path_to_alsa/alsa-kernel/include/* ." that should be enough to update alsa in the kernel. later, Steve On Thu, Mar 27, 2003 at 04:00:04PM -0500, Louis Garcia wrote: > I thought you didn.t need that package because it was merged into 2.5? > > --Lou > > On Thu, 2003-03-27 at 15:06, Frans Ketelaars wrote: > > On Thursday 27 March 2003 20:55, Louis Garcia wrote: > > > Sorry no, I'm not running devfs.
