That's why I chimed in. Using apt-rpm, you can use all the commands you've
grown comfy with in Debian. (e.g. apt-get update && apt-get upgrade,
apt-cache search {keyword}, etc) And the upgrades/updates are sweet. There
now are a number of new apt-rpm sites popping up (including /.) Here's a url
to wander thru......
http://apt-rpm.tuxfamily.org/
And for those wondering, NO! I DON'T WEAR THE HAT!! :--) I just support
linux wherever/whenever I can. :--)

:--) Yer not, it's just that I've run into a couple of folks that used
'another box' and hotmail (or the likes) to write me while actually werking
on thier linux box. :--) Yer fine!

Then, somehow/someway the audio chip is STILL not being seen. There is
another thread running now about having to use the alsa drivers on the AC'97,
is this the same chipset you're calling? (it's early in my day and i don't
recall right now)
