Umm, no I didn't. Was in one of my stupid moments.

Sorry, I should have phrased it better. I removed the kernel-pcmcia and then 
reinstalled it to get 2.4.8 working again. I left pcmcia-cs as it was since 
it was a tarball.

Might not be that long. Mandrake will have 8.2 out probably by the end of the 
month. Not sure which kernel but it will be newer than 2.4.8. Kernels 2.4.17 
& .18 both correct the sound problem on my machine but neither one corrects 
the usb problem. I got a serial mouse so that solves the usb problem.
For being pretty new to all this, I thought I was doing pretty good just 
getting a new kernel built.  :)
