Hi, Leif,
I am sending this via the list as I got the following error both using
webmail from Hilltop and from home [both via Comcast], and so couldn't
get it to you directly. Also, it may have some general interest.
This is why I couldn't send it direct:

HI, Leif,
I am testing Debian Etch [testing] with
OSS version: 3.99.4a
OSS build: 200603251735
Kernel version: Linux debian 2.6.15-1-686-smp #2 SMP Mon Mar 6 15:34:50
UTC 2006 i686 GNU/Linux
Kernel vermagic: 2.6.15-1-686-smp SMP 686 gcc-4.0
Modutils version: 3.2.2
Also 4.0.3-1 and nasm 0.98.38.
I find when trying to 'make' Linrad-01.35 that I get the following error:

---------------end of make error
Linrad-02.03 installs fine without this error under the new Debian
distro and kernel!
This is just an FYI.
Since I am sending this via the list I will post a couple of other
interesting things.
I am playing with installing Debian testing [Etch] using Netinst, from
http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/
This installed OK except that I had to go in and set the network
parameters. For some reason netinst assumed DHCP, so I had to enter
the dnsservers and ip address/netmask/gateway stuff after install.
svgalib install ended with an error, with svgalib_helper failing to
install [of course]. Setting the NOHELPER option rendered this problem
moot. I again had to use the mdev /dev/input/mice statement to get the
mouse to work in svgalib. I had to use the VESA driver with my Intel
i810 video to get decent video resolution choices in svgalib.
OSS remains a problem. It will install and I can turn it on with
./soundon and configure it with ./soundconf, but when it is used either
via ./osstest or ./linrad, it will lock up the computer thoroughly so
that I must hold in the ac power button for about 10 seconds to shut
off the computer and then reboot. cntl-alt-del, cntl-alt-F7,
cntl-alt-F8, escape, cntl-C, etc have no effect in this situation.
To get OSS to install I had to use my usual trick of renaming
soundcore.ko to soundcore.ko.old to stop the sound from installing so
that OSS could install.
I would recommend staying with the stable form of Debian at present
[Sarge]. The most recent kernel I have gotten to work with Sarge is
2.6.12.x. Trying 2.6.14.2 got me into quite a bit of difficulty, so I
decided to just go all the way to Etch and 2.6.15.1 and see if I could
get everything working.
