| 03:28.49 | dpkg | extra, extra, read all about it, sarge is has been said that sarge is a release phase between frozen and unstable. Sarge is now testing. See http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce-0012/msg00011.html for the creation of testing. See http://www.linuxmafia.com/debian/testingfaq.html for frequently asked questions about testing. Note that testing and security updates mix complexly. |

| 03:32.19 | dpkg | i guess initrd is initial root disk. initial RAM disk, or god's way of punishing you for using a prebuilt kernel image, or ...And you WILL HAVE TO INCLUDE AN INITRD STATEMENT IN YOUR BOOTLOADER (hint, hint).

| 03:32.59 | yardstick | !alsa |
| 03:32.59 | dpkg | rumour has it, alsa is the "Advanced Linux Sound Architecture" (http://www.alsa-project.org/) the replacement for OSS/Free Sound drivers. It replaces OSS (mostly) in 2.6 and offers even better hardware support than OSS. For install information in 2.6, see <alsa 2.6>; for 2.4, see <alsa tutorial>. Oh, and it defaults to muted when loading so use a mixer to get sound. Press 'M' for unmuting, turning up the sound levels isn't sufficient. |
