Hello, Wow, this is odd! I untared the linux-2.6.26.1 package, created a symlink to it, called linux, and installed a git copy of Speakup to it. When I go in and do make menuconfig, it tried to take settings out of the config file for my current kernel from /boot! Then, I went to move that and it tried to take them from arch/x86/config or whatever....What's going on here? Whatever happened to just plain custom-kernel building? LOL...Unless this is a Debian thing but I don't recall reading about it. Thanks, Robby
