To use speakup in Debian with a 2.6 kernel, you will need to build the kernel yourself. There aren't any official Debian 2.6 kernel packages with speakup. Well do you have a unofficial one? If so it would be helpful just to be able to get it from the speakup sight and run dpkg -I package name to install. Thus allowing for keeping track of it in aptitude having it setup the grup loader having it ask witch should be the default synth not having every user have to build the kernel from scratch. The next remark is going to be if I like this idea so much then why the hell don't I do it? The answer is I am still learning and getting comfortable with linux after 13 years in windows so if no one else does it I will afenchualy do it one day when I get comfortable doing it. It just seemed to me that we have enough debian users out there to be worth whiled. We have rpm kernels so why not deb packages as well. Hth I us
