Re: Installing ALSA ... (continued.) ["Against Techno-Fetishism !"]

Thanks Bill.

I simplified the title from something I thought a bit 
techno-fetishistic, creating a new thread.

You have given me the encouragement and incentive I needed to upgrade 
the kernel (again) via

'apt-get install kernel-image-2.6.5-1-686'

although I will probably first resize partitions to avoid space problems 
I encountered last time.

I'll have to read up on static compiling but I'm glad to hear that 
"everything just worked first
time".

Cheers,
