Thanks Diana
I'm not sure exactly how I solved it - I did use sudo to compile but the
problem persisted (space is not a problem) and so I did "make dep" before
"make-kpkg clean" which seemed to overcome the initial errors but on the
compile it hung on the Altivec option. In xconfig, it wouldn't let me
indicate Y,M or N for altivec and so I went into "make config" and input "Y"
and the compile worked. So I'm now running "2.4.23-pre5-ben0 #1 SMP" and
very happy about that;)
I have sound and can hopefully get all the other bits working - thanks
Ben ;) Another bonus is that my Macally keyboard lights for
Num|Caps|Scroll lock seem to be functioning properly. The stock kernel
made them all come on on the first lock press and stay on - weird ;)
Regards
Clive
