I feel that I should point out that the AGNULA developers don't recommend installing it on anything other than a very basic 'Woody' install. I'm not saying don't do it - Agnula unstable works very well on top of Sarge, but there are some critical differences with the set up which you may come up against and there are no standard answers for. So no guarantees, no safety net, but hey, this /is/ Linux after all :-] I still think this is _probably_ the best option, but have a browse through all this first :-] http://www.agnula.org/download/demudi/demudi_1_1_0_apt http://www.agnula.org/documentation/dp_tutorials http://lurker.agnula.org/list/users_at_lists_agnula_org.html The reason for this caution is that Agnula-1.1.0 is built on top of a 'Sid' snapshot which is not in sync with 'Sarge'. My way round this has been to temporarily disable all sources apart from the ones explicitly mentioned in the Agnula download instructions when upgrading or installing multimedia software. Then you just have to be careful about not accidentally upgrading those packages when you upgrade the other packages from 'Sarge'. (I'm assuming this is what you are using). If all you want is the kernel, this may not be an issue at all. This is all from personal experience as a relative newbie. For my own purposes I'd be very interested in comments from anyone else who is making music using Debian Sarge. The Agnula bods are amazed that I get anything to work at all on my system, I think it's the way to go and I would be glad of more people to compare notes(sic) with but it does neeed a little more work :-] cheers tim hall
