If I want to boot speakup with a specific synth, can I compile this synth as a module and still use a normal grub kernel-command option? I.E. if I compile support for the bns as a module will the kernel command-line option speakup_synth=bns still work in the grub configuration file menu.lst? > Because this kernel-image will go on a very slow, Compaq Pentium-90 with 40MB ram, Are there options I should enable/disable related to speakup? There's really nothing to disable that would conserve more memory than that which would be used by the already compiled-in Speakup modules. Modularizing Speakup entirely and having it load at boot time is a rather complicated process. To get an idea on how to do it, look for a file in your kernel source tree called initrd.txt. > > Finally, Which set of documentation should I read for kernel modules? > The path I'd like to take is, use the cvs checkout script to get speakup patches, put these patches into the directory containing the source from the kernel-source-2.4.27 deb virtual package and use make-kpkg to create the kernel image. > One last question, how much disk space should I free up? > Sean > > _______________________________________________ > Speakup mailing list > Speakup at braille.uwo.ca > http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup - -- "The answer to life, the universe, and everything is 42." -- Douglas Adams -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFBwfASNohoaf1zXJMRAvn2AKCtZNdWP95P51sPY1TIbP+1h6A7YACcDbH6 vUHTAr9BiU/+saCfZ1zE7zA= =OSnT -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
