Hi, Anna. Ok, first thing to under stant the Speakup tarball is the source code only. The source is uncompiled code witch needs to be patched into a kernel source tree, and compiled with a compiler. Then, installed. At this point the rpms is what you really need. Rpms are binary compiled kernel with speakup which you or Pogo can install in a matter of minutes. They would download it to a directory and type rpm -Uv filename.rpm and wam they are in business. ----- Original Message ----- From: Anna Schneider <annas@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Monday, March 04, 2002 5:11 PM Subject: Re: Installing Speakup separate from Linux. > Okay.
