Hi Arie,

For other readers:
Arie and I are talking about the use of a program, Krecord in
my case version 1.13, to check the workings of my, by now famous,
not working, AC97 sound section.
Krecord can be easily found and downloaded. It needs a complete
working compiler to install. It was here where differences showed
up between Arie's distribution and Mandrake 9.1. I did not have the
Kernel "source code" installed. I now got it what Chris was talking
about that if you want to recompile the Kernel ( as in windows
re-compiling, one needs the Kernel source code. As if you wanted
to recompile widows2000 or NT, you might need a lot of stuff but the
windows 2000 source code for sure as a minimum!
