Hello I was wondering if there's any plans to create a speakup package for ubuntu 8.04? I've been trying to compile my own kernel but have discovered that my laptop requires the linux-restricted-modules, and these are proving difficult to re-compile. In Ubuntu Feisty, it seemed that the kernel-patch-speakup package could be installed directly without installing a new kernel. Could someone possibly explain how this worked? Many thanks Alastair Irving
