I've selected everything I want to have, like modules and such, then I = typed make all. Have I missed anything? Usually you compile kernels for debian with kernel-package apt-get install kernel-package fakeroot make-kpkg clean make config or whatever make-kpkg --revision=3Dcustom.1 --initrd kernel_image dpkg -i kernel-image-x.x.x_custom.1.deb My questions are as follows. 1. sound card. How do I change from my built in sound card on the motherboard to my = soundblaster audigy 2zs without alsaconf? edit /etc/modutils.d/alsa and set options options snd-audigy index=3D1 or whatever the module for your audigy card is called. You'll want squeeze for the later sound modules that work better with = the zs. Then run update-modules I believe it is. This is documented in /usr/share/doc/alsa-base/Readme.Debian.gz I = believe. and finally, maybe a little off topic for this list, but is there any = way to do so that I get the status cells to the left side of my braille = display instead of the right? It feels very uncomfortable to have them there. Try the brltty documentation, it should have details what is and isn't = configurable. I remember seeing manpages and the like on the brltty website although = it has been a while since I looked. Regards, Kerry.
