I think her problem was she downloaded a fresh 2.4.5 kernel and tried applying a CVS patch to it and could not find the modules. She wasn't clear on what steps she took but this is my interpretation of her problem. -----Original Message----- From: Janina Sajka [mailto:janina@xxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, June 18, 2001 11:24 AM To: speakup at braille.uwo.ca Subject: Re: Speakup-enabled kernels Aren't the messages on this list archived? Don't believe anyone said speakup was built into the kernel as in the kernel you get from ftp.kernel.org. Don't believe anyone said that. What we did say is that the most common distributions in use on this list, Redhat, Slackware, and Debian, have been tweaked, by folks on this list, in order to include speakup. So, if you get your stuff from there, you'll get kernels that include speakup. If you get your stuff elsewhere, you won't (necessarily). Now, once again, don't misunderstand. You cannot expect speakup if you download your distribution from redhat.com, or debian.org, or slackware dot whatever. You have to download from linux-speakup.org or speakup.octothorp.org. Can this be any clearer? On Mon, 18 Jun 2001, Cheryl Homiak wrote: > Ok, I'm a bit confused, and I appologize for not having followed this > thread better but I thought I knew what to do.
