I just booted the first  zimage (458,327 bytes) you made available with 
kernel 2.2.26, and did those insmods. As I recall, there was a problem with 
sb;  I guess some of the things like the io, irq, etc were wrong for my 
system.
What should I do?  Adjust BIOS settings regarding ISA/PCI etc etc?
Or is there some way to diagnose and fix this based on the error message?
I tried to direct the output to a file, but it didn't work.

Anyhow, how do I see whether sound works?  You mentioned  mplayer  ?
I don't recall whether I used that, or whether I ever was able to paly 
sound files or CDs with Basic Linux.
I can't find a mplayer on my computer drives that looked as though it's for 
Linux.
Where do I get it?

What are the advantages  of kernel 2.2.26 over 2.2.16 ?

Thanks,
Sheldon
