First of all, unlimited thanks for this package. Test9 has been running (with nvidia patched) since this morning without any trouble, but the load has been reasonably light. One thing I noticed that has nothing to do with the kernel is that I can choose 'a' when I set vga=ask, but lilo asks for a number. The real feed back: alsa has a new version (0.9.8). From the openvortex site, it seems their driver is included. Anyone would know the module name? -- Quel Qun <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
