Thanks everyone. I got it. Never did get modules to compile but what I did was: I upgraded my debian system to lenny and my kernel to linux-image-2.6.26-1-686 then I could install the modules as they are a package in lenny: speakup-modules-2.6.26-1-686.deb This has been working well for me. It is nice to know that the next stable release of debian will have speakup-modules as a package. Joe
