So, if I understand you right, I can use ins keypad enter to um... sorta turn the speech off in a sense and it'll still talk if I use the arrows to move threw the menu choices? If that's the case then I suspect that this will solve other similar tracking dificulties as well to a point. if this is the case... Then what is the best way to recompile that kernel with out speech? Or can I use this to recompile it and then be able to boot into the orrigional one? Not really sure if I'm making sense.
