James, Thanks for the quick response. I'm unclear about 2 things: 1) What should I emerge? emerge -p gentoo-dev-sources? Something else? Not sure. 2) I need to run ~x86 Alsa, and Alsa is changing a lot still, so I presume I need an Alsa emerge that will install Alsa in the kernel tree. If emerge alsa-XXX doesn't do this, then do I use a CVS download and install it into the kernel by hand? I hope the second question is clear. Thanks, Mark -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
