Hi Ryu and Edward,
Thanks for the advice. I managed to get past the previous error message and on to the next one.

This was really helpful, and I hope to learn more about using BASH with such good resources. I have a hardcopy bash manual, but it often confuses as much as helps since it doesn't always give examples of what it is saying to do. Your examples are quite clear.
Anyway, now I am to the following error message:
"The kernel header file '/lib/modules/2.6.27.7-9-pae/ build/include/linux/kernel.h' does not exist. The most likely reason for this is that the kernel source path '/lib/modules/ 2.6.27.7-9-pae/build' is incorrect. Please make sure you have installed the kernel source files for your kernel and that they are properly configured; on Red Hat Linux systems, for example, be sure you have the 'kernel source' or 'kernel devel' RPM installed."
Well, I checked, and 'kernel source' is installed. I'm stalled.

I have gcc-4.3-34(?) installed, not sure of the last 2-digit number, and I just typed "export CC=gcc-4.3" without the two-digit extension. I assume that was OK.

Thanks, that is also a good resource. I am looking at sound cards -- not that I really _need_ superb sound to listen to my wild Mexican music -- and was wondering about maybe buying one of those Onkyo ones I saw at Yodobashi. I guess I'll avoid that brand. I've already
tossed a perfectly good Canon printer into the sodai
gomi because it wouldn't do Linux. Don't really see any high-end sound cards at Yodobashi. The Onkyo and Creative Titanium are about the best they offer.
