Re: Can't get sound module installed

[Richard Harran <95rmwh@eng.cam.ac.uk>]

OK, I replying to myself.  I didn't select /dev/dsp as one of the sound
options in the kernel.  Now I've sorted this, I still have a problem:  I
can't use /dev/dsp, because it doesn't exist.  What should have created
this, and how do I fix it?

Thanks
Rich
