	Just to confirm, the date will be the 10th of March ?
In other words, How long.... to the point of no return ?


Is the kernel number the same as the XFREE86 number ?
Supposedly, according to the chipset mfg website,  the necessary 
drivers for my on board sound are included in every kernel 2.3.4 
and later, and I have XFREE86 3.3.6.

The sound HOWTOs seemed rather dated, talking about the 
growing popularity of PCI slots over ISA,  linux vs Win 3.1 and Win 
95, and XFREE 3.3.1. It looks like I have to find out exactly what 
is, and isn't, in my kernel.
