I installed the OSS demo after not being able to get the RedHat modules to

getting the RedHat sound modules to work and if _they_ are compatible, not
the OSS system.

What do you mean by kernel driver?  I mean the modules that come with the
RedHat 2.0.35 kernal in the misc directory.  Am I missing something basic
about the kernal modules and how they work?
