How to make Alsa .deb files
I have two PCs. One is my work PC, the other for the kids.
I want to create the .deb files on my PC, burn to cd, copy the .deb to the PIII, and install the .deb files using sudo dpkg ‐i package.deb I have also done some googling on how to make a .deb file. It seems that instead of make install, I should use checkinstall. Is this feasible ? How should how I modify the Alsa instructions ? I got this from the Alsa site: Make a directory to store the alsa source code in: cd /usr/src mkdir alsa cd alsa cp /downloads/alsa-* . Now unzip and install the alsa-driver package: bunzip2 alsa-driver-xxx tar -xf alsa-driver-xxx cd alsa-driver-xxx ./configure --with-cards=ymfpci --with-sequencer=yes ; make ; make install chmod a+rw /dev/dsp /dev/mixer /dev/sequencer /dev/midi Now unzip and install the alsa-lib package: cd .. bunzip2 alsa-lib-xxx tar -xf alsa-lib-xxx cd alsa-lib-xxx ./configure ; make ; make install Now unzip and install the alsa-utils package: cd .. bunzip2 alsa-utils-xxx tar -xf alsa-utils-xxx cd alsa-utils-xxx ./configure ; make ; make install Now insert the modules into the kernel: modprobe snd-ymfpci ; modprobe snd-pcm-oss ; modprobe snd-mixer-oss ; modprobe snd-seq-oss |
Why not just copy the existing debs from the pc that is connected to the net, They are in var/cache/apt/archives

The .deb file for the Alsa module for YMF740 sound card (on the PIII), is already in the var/cache/apt/archives of my C2D?
