My kernel has the speakup and speakup-dectlk modules built-in, the other synths are loadable modules. I can't help you with software speech, but I can say that the 2.6.24-speakup kernel worked on two systems that I've tested it on, one Lenny and one Etch, and I think other people might have used it. It installs and works like a traditional kernel package. If you need to compile modules or otherwise need headers or source, also install the 2.6.24-etchnhalf kernel packages available from the regular Debian archive. For my custom kernel, go to: http://baechler.net.nyud.net/debian/ http://baechler.net/debian/ if the above doesn't work If anyone actually uses these kernel packages, please mail or post feedback. I doubt that I will make future kernel packages available since 2.6.26 largely eliminates the need for patching and custom kernels in the first place, but I would like to know that my efforts weren't wasted. They certainly saved my bacon on the Etch system I was working on last week which I posted about here.
