Re: Can't get sound module installed

Great.  Thanks a lot: this pointed me in the right direction.  I
couldn't actually run MAKEDEV dsp, but I had a look at MAKEDEV, and
found MAKEDEV audio worked ok.  I've got the default permissions, and
added myself to audio group using
	adduser <username> audio
as root, and this worked fine.

Cheers
Rich
