Hi. I'm installing debian and want a custom kernel as the machine I'm installing it on is rather limited. The problem is that I do not have root access on the computer I'm going to compile the kernel on. I downloaded kernel 2.2.19 and the latest speakup from the ftp site. When I run the ./install from the speakup-1.00 folder I got errors related to the permissions of the source. So I edited that script and changed the references to my source tree in my home directory. It still is trying to patch up the kernel in /usr/src/linux, what other files do I need to edit to direct the scripts for installation to my particular source tree location? thanks, Patrick ------------------------- Patrick Turnage e-mail:pturnage at tampabay.rr.com Telephone: (850) 459-7717 HomePage: http://www.access-connect.com Amateur radio callsign:kg4dqk AOL Instant Messenger:kg4dqk icq:26862191 MSN:turnagep at hotmail.com Yahoo!:kg4dqk America Online:kg4dqk1129 kg4dqk1129 at aol.com
