I hope I'm not being too thick here. This thread started at the same time as one
I had started about getting sound working in rh 7.3 (so VMware will be able to
work with that module as well). This stuff you have here is not supposed to work
with rh 7.3 is it? It's referring to Debian. If it's no good for rh 7.3, I'll
ignore this thread and pick up where I left off on the 'CM8738 "Sound Blaster
compatible"?' thread:

[root-5jgDBJOV2nY at public.gmane.org lsf]# apt-cache search alsa
bash: apt-cache: command not found
[root-5jgDBJOV2nY at public.gmane.org lsf]# find / -name apt-cache
[root-5jgDBJOV2nY at public.gmane.org lsf]# apt-get install alsa-modules-2.4.18-3-686
bash: apt-get: command not found
[root-5jgDBJOV2nY at public.gmane.org lsf]# find / -name apt-get
[root-5jgDBJOV2nY at public.gmane.org lsf]#
