 | Hi Will. I thought you were going to plug 64studio before I looked at your
 | reply. I really wanted to resolve the problem on Debian Etch, and Lenny,
 | but will have to give 64studio a try.
 |
 | iso.linuxquestions.org list it, but only the x86_64 version, and only
 | v1.0. Thankfully there are only 2 cd iso's, and shouldn't take too long on
 | dialup.
 |
 | I've just been to the 64studio site, but doh, it's only available as a dvd
 | download for 32bit, and I have a problem with dvd's, like no dvd writer.
 |
 | Thanks for the reply. I'll keep looking for cd iso's.

 | Nigel.

Hi, also you can add Musix GNU/Linux's repositories (debian/etch compatible)
 
# /etc/apt/sources.list Musix GNU+Linux
deb ftp://musix.ourproject.org/pub/musix/deb/ ./

So you can install rt kernels on you Debian/ECTH, and upgrade Ardour to 2.1,
jackd to 0.103...

regards
