Yes. You have picked me up right. The CVS version was just downloaded and archived. I am now trying to patch the kernel with it but I'm running into problems. I do have access to a network connection which is letting me use CVS at the moment however the script is not working. I sent a message about it last night. It gives me two errors: 1. no .cvspass file found so I did some searching and created one: 2. It now says that the script has not passed an absolute pathname. And it still thinks the password is wrong. I would appreciate any help.

Subject: Re: Installing speakup from CVS -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 - From what I've been reading here, it sounds to me like someone just checked out the cvs patches, and somehow put them in a tarball. From what I understand, this can be done, but it's not a straight forward job. What you should do is to have the person getting the cvs speakup download a fresh kernel source tarball, untar that, patch it with cvs speakup, tar it back up, and give that to you. Yes, it will be probably about 40 megs bigger then just the speakup patches on their own, but I think that's probably the easiest and best way to get cvs speakup without cvs access.
