alsa in Debian using the stock 2.4.27 kernel wasRe: hello listers

Hi.

I use the program found in Debian called kernel-package to build my
kernels.  It compiles the kernel and produces a Debian package.  This
package isn't official, but I find it useful to create local packages of
my kernels so I can easily keep track of what I have installed in
aptitude.

Download a tarball of kernel source from kernel.org.  Checkout speakup
from the speakup CVS using the checkout script on the speakup web site.
Configure your kernel for your system.  Finally type

make-kpkg kernel_image

If it finishes with no errors, you will have .deb package in the parent
directory.
just type

dpkg -i packagename

as root to install.  Reboot and hope you configured the kernel with all
important hardware support.

Hope this helps.
          Kenny
