If you use grub, your boot loader will be reconfigured to allow you to select the new kernel. The current kernel 2.4 will /not/ be removed and still be available. If your Sarge is up to date and you want to use/try the OSS drivers, make sure you purge the alsa-base package or load the driver manually - hotplug and discover won't do it if the configuration files from alsa-base are still installed. best regards Andreas Janssen -- Andreas Janssen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> PGP-Key-ID: 0xDC801674 ICQ #17079270 Registered Linux User #267976 http://www.andreas-janssen.de/debian-tipps-sarge.html -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
