Yeah ,I found the docs after I posted that message. To be fair to myself, I did read the README in the speakup directory and the files in the speakup/doc directory. The info I needed is in the file UPGRADING. Once I found that, it was quite clear. I now have a talking 2.6.22 kernel. I haven't actually got one to boot yet though. My latest effort failed trying to find a valid root device. But that is probably unrelated to speakup. I'd be willing to help out with the docs as soon as I learn what I'm supposed to do myself. I want to get a 2.6.22 kernel working and then fix my deb package for speechd-up to work with both 2.6.21 and 2.6.22 kernels. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kirk Reiser" <kirk@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: "Speakup is a screen review system for Linux." <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Thursday, September 27, 2007 6:30 AM Subject: Re: 2.6.22 kernel > Hi John and all: You didn't read the accompanying documentation with > the git repository.
