Fernando,
   The installation of the new kernel does not seem to be working.
Here's what I think I did:

1) Updated apt.conf and sources.list as per the top note on the change
log page.

2) apt-get update

3) apt-get install apt apt-devel

4) [mark@Wizard mark]$ apt-get
apt 0.5.5cnc4.1 for linux i386 compiled on Mar 24 2003 15:45:15

5) apt-get update

6) [root@Wizard root]# apt-get install planetccrma-core

The terminal is hung at this point. Ctrl-C does nothing. No processes
seem to be using any CPU cycles, but the terminal won't respond.

The kernel does appear to reside in /boot. Nothing has been written into
/boot/grub/grub.conf yet.

I presume that the new Alsa has not been installed as of yet.

Synaptic still does nothing other than call up a white screen. 

Any ideas what to do???

Thanks,
Mark
