Hi Greg, Thanks for the reply. Yes, I was trying the cvs by executing the "checkout" script according to the INSTALLATION doc and the README.cvs file; no luck yet. The cvs download succeeds. I'm just never prompted to configure speakup during the "make config" process in /usr/src/linux (which is linked to the 2.6.6 source tree in accordance with the directions.) Any other suggestions would be appreciated.
