Re: [Alsa-user] Installation help required on RedHat 7.1 (Kernel 2.4.2-2, soundcard als4000)

[kiran m. <kir...@ya...>]

Hi Venugopal,

Can I check this in packagemanager?

I came to know that in kernel 2.5 alsa has been
integrated. If I install that kernel on my system,
will all the existing rpms in redhat 7.1 (uses kernel
2.4.2-2) work.
