I have used DSL and was able to get the alsa driver working for my sound card. In DSL-N I use mydsl to install the 3 .dsls and get an error on bootup saying that there isnt room for the install on my usb-zip 1gig installation. then dsl-n just stops booting. since i have not installed anything else, i figure it cant be full. is alsa not working in dsl-n yet? I see no mention of it.

thanks for your help

Your installation probably tries to write someplace where the file system is not writeable.

I'm struggling with the same issue, attempting to make captive (NTFS support) a myDSL extension. So far I don't fully understand what's writeable and what not. This morning I learned that I can write about 2 MB into the root dir, but no more?

Edit: I also observed that after a .dsl fails for such, subsequent .dsl's also show such errors, although they are normally ok. I have 1GB of RAM, that should't be a problem. I also tried UnionFS, but that didn't work together with the myDSL system, at least for me...

I have had no luck getting ALSA working on either DSL or DSL-N. I noticed in the DSL-N startup there is no mention of typing DSL ALSA. Has anyone got ALSA working on DSL-N, and how is it done? I think it would help me to get skype working, and would generally be good to have working.

ALSA is not in the base system.
ALSA needs to be created as an extension.
Shouldn't be too difficult, now that we have unionfs.
