For installing a new kernel you can get kernels from ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/v2.6 As of right now the latest seems to be 2.4.24. I haven't patched a recent kernel with the latest version of Speakup so you'll want to follow the git instructions. As far as compiling the kernel after the Speakup patch has been applied go: make config or make menuconfig make bzImage Then copy System.map to /boot and edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and create a definition for your new image. This file has good examples for doing this.

Also when installing speakup what instructions do I follow? And do I need to do anything to grub?
