Stephen,
This creates other problems. apt-get returns the following:
$ apt-get install alsa-modules-2.4.18-k7
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
The following extra packages will be installed:
alsa-base kernel-image-2.4.18-k7
The following NEW packages will be installed:
alsa-base alsa-modules-2.4.18-k7 kernel-image-2.4.18-k7
0 packages upgraded, 3 newly installed, 0 to remove and 4 not upgraded.
Need to get 798kB/9655kB of archives. After unpacking 26.9MB will be
used.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n]
I've in the past installed kernel-image-2.4.18-k7, but it wouldn't
boot, so I removed it and compiled the kernel from tar.gz from
kernel.org, not (as|from) a deb package. I have to figure a way to
download/install alsa-modules-2.4.18-k7 without installing the
corresponding kernel-image.
