hey there russell

i've dowloaded and installed the pclinuxos live cd ... got thac's apt
repo happening ...

had a few troubles getting rid of KDE and switching to Gnome/XFCE4, but
i think i'm about there now ...

however ... which kernel, from which repository, am i supposed to be
using? with the multi-media kernel, i'm able to start jackd realtime,
however it says it can't lock memorly lock the RT thread ... if i use
Thac's pre-empt kernel, i can't seem to be able to get real-time
privileges at all ... it's a bit confusing, since i'm a CCRMAer thru and
thru, but it would be great to get a live cd setup with ardour and
hydrogen and the other apps i use for recording ... (my recording buddy
uses windows, but wants a way to edit the stuff we do on my linux box
without actually installing linux).

can you give me some general tips on what your alsa/jack/kernel setup is
with pclinuxos, which repositories you have enabled etc ...

help would be much appreciated, and i hope this can be as good as it
sounds :)
