[ATrpms-users] RE: Installing kmdl via apt/yum (was: atrpms-users Digest, Vol 3, Issue 19)

[Andreas Weder]

Hi Axel,

ah, I see. Thanks for your reply. I was using synaptic to install
and update RPMs for the last couple of weeks, but I'm now considering
going back to the command line to gain more control over the choice of
packages.

I already had the suspicion that some of the problems I have been
running into for weeks now might be due to installation problems
(e.g. installing ivtv and not getting any audio despite all the
tricks and twists mentioned in various FAQs).

I'll see.

Thanks again, and thank you for your excellent packages
Andreas
