Hi All, New to the list, have been running Emacspeak but want to try speakup. I have the sources for kernel 2.4.8 I downloaded the speakup 1.0 tarball and unzipped it in /usr/src I ran install and it did it's think, some hunk fails for non 386 systems. I ran make mrproper make config make dep make bzImage make modules I answered yes to the speakup config and choice the ltlk synth and set it as default. it compiled with some errors for the speakup. Never created a bzImage file in /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot Is there something about Mandrake that is different? Did I leave out or do something I shouldn't have? did not run make modules_install yet. Any help appreciated.
