As i mentioned, that with my UBUNTU-Realtimekernel these modules built OK i forgot something important: As with the most kernels, that are not officially supported by VMWare you need to apply a little script to the sources of your Kernel: ftp://platan.vc.cvut.cz/pub/vmware/vmware-any-any-update98.tar.gz refer to the Readme to find out more... PLUS: i test both the Desktopperformance and the audiocapabilities of the UBUNTU-RT-Kernel daily and i am quite enthusiastic about and look eagerly forward the official release of dapper drake. In my experience audiooptimizations do not degrade the overall performance at all and to have KDE, Open Office and TEX installed does not bother audio (well - as long as you do not compile a KritaCVS while mastering a 28-Track-ardoursession with jamin ;-)) regards z -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFEG+uV1Aecwva1SWMRAlKiAJ4si6pyCoVdZlb5oryqNmKC/u/L1ACfZAdz ZZBOS5hepp2/sN9RpyqTOFA= =Ymre -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
