a couple of slackware questions.Re: OT: Kernel Compile And Module Dependancy Problems

[Alex Snow]

well I guess I got it really easy...my cdrom drive has a button to play a cd
on it...as long as I have it hooked into my audio card I just press the
button and it plays. It's kind of anoying to keep reaching down to change
tracks but that's why I don't use it. workbone is fine for this.
