Why is it so hard to get help/info on using Linux? I have Debian. I apparently need to recompile my kernel because Alsa cannot control my sound card, because Debian has hold of it, but I need to get Debian to not control it. I have spent all day looking on the internet for help, and can find non on recompiling the kernel, some examples would be nice. man pages are often useless for a beginner, as they are too cryptic. Any help appreciated, as I am about ready to quit Linux. Glenn
