When = you have a working tree tar it up and move the tar ball across and = extract it, run make and make modules_install and make the necessary = amendments to the boot loader configuration file. I can't remember what = switches I used on the compression of the speakup patched tree but a = quick look at the tar man page will give an idea. Not sure if I used = anything more than tar -czf linux-2.6.21.5 = linux-2.6.21.5-with_CVS_speakup.tar.gz I guess that there are even more ways you could undertake this task. Good luck, lfs is a very rewarding process. Actually, I'm being asked by Ken Moffat how they could make their blfs = book more accessible to us speakup users, so if you have any ideas, let = me know and I'll pass them on.

Subject: Speakup with LFS? Hiya, I was wondering if anybody on here had experience building an LFS = system with Speakup in the new kernel. I have a good idea of how to go = about doing it, but don't want to end up with a system that won't talk = from boot when I need to try it. What I was thinking is that since a = symbolic link can cross filesystems, I could temporarily change = /usr/src/linux to point to the directory of my LFS kernel unpacking. I could then do a CVS checkout--using my existing Linux system, of = course, since LFS doesn't come with CVS. I'd then just change the = symlink. Would this work? =20 Thanks muchly, Zack. _______________________________________________ Speakup mailing list Speakup@braille.uwo.ca http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup __________ NOD32 2348 (20070623) Information __________ This message was checked by NOD32 antivirus system. http://www.eset.com
