Thanks, Well...I'll relent and go with 9.0 as the kde rpms I've built don't work properly vis a vis alsa. As a matter of fact, one of the things I had to do to get one of the rpms to build (arts? I don't recall) was update my kernel alsa-driver from 0.5.12a to 0.9.0rc2. I got everything except for kdemultimedia rpms built without any burps. The kdemultimedia builds for a long time then craps out with kmix problems regarding alsa. Doing a ./configure --path=/usr && make && make install in the /usr/src/RPM/BUILD/kdemultimedia-3.0.x directory produces a "successful" build but sound doesn't work properly. In order to get all this working I either have to go back and reinstall 8.2 it seems or move on to 9.0 and fix its problems (upgrade to Cooker kernel).
I'll give it a go. My supermount problem was with regards to my zip drive - loading fine but refusing to unload. I don't recall the specifics of my usb problems at this point, only that going back to the 2.4.18 kernels on 8.2 got around them (as well as avoiding the supermount problem). My hardware is "cheap" either.
