Just hit 'enter' and it will work. I have attached "READ:ME.cvs" which explains.

For this to work correctly you must have a clean linux source tree in /usr/src/linux. The checkout script can be run from any directory the first time. After the first time you will want to run it from /usr/src/linux/drivers/char/speakup to do future updates. Once you have downloaded the checkout script you will need to make it executable by typing: chmod 755 checkout in the directory where you have placed the script. Next type: ./checkout The script will respond when run with "No CVSROOT set hit return to select anonymous". You just hit enter and you should be prompted for a password. All anonymous passwords on our cvs server are the single word 'please'. I guess if you can't say please you can't have what you want! 'grin' If everything goes all-right you will see multose cvs updating messages and patching messages. The patching and copying portion is important to watch. If you see any unsuccessful patches or copies then something has gone wrong and it will not work. If you are using a brain dead Redhat distribution you will need to make sure you have bash 2.x running as bash. Everything else is the same for compiling any kernel. Kirk
