If I rebuild the speakup kernel image package the way shane built it what is the command he uses to build the sources into a binary and do I need to do the make config or will makekpkg do this automatically? Will it make a different package for modules and kernel or just one as I want my kernel in one package not two? I know I need to recompile the kernel to change that option but is there a way speakup could be coded where that option would not have an effect on software synthisizers like flite? Does the debian kernel that shane built have software synthisizer support? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Adam Myrow" To: "Speakup is a screen review system for Linux."
