Hi Link. I've got FC4 on CDROMS, but am still looking for a bit of spare 
harddrive to put it on, but I have FC1,2, and 3. A couple of things to check. 
Have a look in /var/apt/cache/archives/partial to see if there isn't a 
partially downloaded package lying there. If there is, you can run apt-get 
upgrade, or apt-get dist-upgrade again, and it should complete the download 
and install it. This may clear the path for new updates. Second. Have a look 
in synaptic, and see if there is a kernel-alsa-modules for your installed 
kernel. If there is, install that. This again may solve the problem trying to 
install the core-edge one. I presume you have synaptic, but if not it's a 
simple apt-get install synaptic. Nigel.
