OK. I have made a number of kernels on a PC, but never ran into
EXTRAVERSION before. Apparently, I have always changed the _version_
enough. Like, making version "2.4.20" vs. "2.4.19", in which
case EXTRAVERSION would not be needed.

CD's play fine since I gave up on KsCD and Xmms and installed Xine.
The problem now is that if I try to play video (MPEG-1), the picture
is fine, but there is no sound. At the moment, I have no idea whether
this is a kernel/OSS, Xine, KDE, or Yellow Dog problem.
