Hi, by link I mean using ln -s and removing the unusable kernel I built and just have vmlinuz be a soft link pointing to the kernel I want to boot. I mainly use pico that is included with pine to edit grub.conf but pine is not included with fc3 so I will need to use another editor what is the easiest one to use? bye On Tue, 17 May 2005, Janina Sajka wrote: > Nick Gawronski writes: >> Hi, I was recompiling a stock kernel because I was wanting to get the >> latest version of speakup and alsa to see if my sound card was >> supported. > > Speakup has nothing to do with your sound card. > The alsa-drivers tar ball includes documentation on what cards are > supported, so you can discover in advance whether any effort is > promissing.
