Hello all. I'm one of those people who still enjoys building my own kernel from source. I recently managed to build a 3.4.4 kernel with speakup for my old pentium III. machine, wich still has isa slots and a doubletalk board. It worked just fine. Speakup did not lock up, and the only problem I had was that my beep program which plays a beep.wav file through my sound blaster card whenever the system initiates a beep through the pc speaker wasn't working. Other than that, no problems. I am running Debian Squeeze. I don't have enough ram on that machine to run Gnome, but everything else is working greate! Gene Collins
