Hmm. I would think that the better solution (the less surprising solution) would be to leave out the ALSA modules from the Debian kernel package, since we have a seperate package of ALSA modules which _does_ depend on alsa-base. Then a "desktop" install could offer to include them, and a non- "desktop" install could leave them out by default, or something. -- ----------------------------------------------------------- Paul "TBBle" Hampson, MCSE 8th year CompSci/Asian Studies student, ANU The Boss, Bubblesworth Pty Ltd (ABN: 51 095 284 361) Paul.Hampson@Anu.edu.au "No survivors?
