Do you require a custom kernel? It would be easier to download a kernel with
speakup already compiled in. You can do that by going to
http://people.debian.org/~shane/speakup/kernell/.
If you are using debian linux, you can do this:
1. Add the following line to your /etc/apt/sources.list file:
deb http://people.debian.org/~shane/speakup/kernel ./
2. At the linux command line, type
apt-get update
apt-get install linux-image-2.6.18-speakup-686
3. Reboot

Subject: installing speakup
Hi,
Ok I want to install speakup.
I used apt-get source to get my kernel.
I then went to /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.185 I'm not sure exactly what the
dir is called but something like that.
I entered that dir with cd.
I then typed:
cp ** /usr/src/linux
I had created the linux dir obviously.
So is what I did ok?
I heard that the kernel must be in /usr/src/linux for it to work. So will
mine work?
Now I am trying to get the speakup files. The server seems to be down and
I can't get them.
Could someone please send them to me or give me a link to them?
I am looking for speakup-2.0.tar or whatever it is called.
And do I just extract the tar file anywhere and run install or what ever
from the speakup dir anywhere?
Basically I am asking where does the speakup stuff have to be extracted
to?
Do I need to be good with linux to patch a kernel? Is this complicated
stuff?
And my last question:
I am using the grub bootloader. Once I have patched the kernel with
speakup and installed it what do I do to grub?
And how do I do this?
Sorry about all the questions but I am just not sure on patching kernels
and stuff.
All help is greatly appreciated.\
Cheers,
Daniel.
