   Hey guys/girls
   Im trying to figure out how to compile drivers for slitaz
   downloaded these:
   Realtek network card driver for linux: http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=13&PFid=5&Level=5&Conn=4&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false

   Realtek audio driver for Linux: http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=24&PFid=24&Level=4&Conn=3&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false

   So now i just need to know how im suppose to compile this crapp ;)

   for the network driver (on Lubuntu) i just used #sudo ./install.sh and it built the driver and installed - guess its not that easy on slitaz?

   and for the audio driver well i couldnt find a install.sh in that one

   Ofc would love to get this driver working also:
   AMD Graphics: http://www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/ati-driver-installer-11-12-x86.x86_64.run

   SO if anyone could help me try compile these i would be greatfull ;)

   Most important driver is the Audio driver from realtek

   Sincerally

   Well to be honest sound sounds crappy it uses intel based driver thats generic and well not working well on all systems

   So when i get the audio driver working ok, my goal is to test Spotify to work
   with slitaz :P

   Cooking:
   #tazpkg -gi slitaz-toolchain
   #tazpkg -gi linux-module-headers
   #tazpkg -gi linux-source
   #get-linux-source

   Follow the directions in the info or readme file that is packaged with the source.
   ./install.sh worked for me with a realtek wifi driver.
   The .run file is a self-extracting archive/installer
   Make sure it is executable:
   #chmod +x ati-driver-installer-11-12-x86.x86_64.run
   Execute:
   #./ati-driver-installer-11-12-x86.x86_64.run
   or
   #sh ati-driver-installer-11-12-x86.x86_64.run

   Actually, you are wrong :)
   Intel HD Audio (HDA) is just a standart, like AC97.

   Kernel containes "patches" to support different sound chips (all based on HDA standart).
   And sound quality depends on ALSA settings (mainly output frequency and resampling)

   Martin - I dont want to discourage you, but there was only one good sound chip for laptops -
   Vinyl-Envy24MT - and this chip, brother or sister of the Envy24HT, which is in M-Audio Revolution 5.1, 7.1 und Audiophile 192, ESI Juli@, was only built in Acer TRAVELMATE 254LC-DT and one HP Laptop - as ffar as I know...

   thats the reality about laptops and good sound

   I use since I think 8 years now a Echo Indigo IO for shows and it was worth any penny.

   If you search for a cheap good usb soundcard: BEHRINGER U-CONTROL UCA 202 with a Burr-Brown soundchip about 25€.
