I downloaded the speakup-0.08 from the speakup website and tried to install it on my linux machine.  I unziped and untared the speakup-0.08.tar.gz file.  After untarring the file I read the installalation file and tried to run the patch -p0 <speakup-0.08-patch and I got an error saying invaild command -p and it also  said can't find file to patch at input line 4.  And then it prompted me to enter a file to patch and typed in speakup-0.08-patch and I got another error saying hunk #1 faild at 8961 and I aborted after taht error.  I'm using mandrake-linux7.0 kernel version 2.3.14 on a windows/linux machine.  With a p133mhz, 96mb, 3.2gb hard drive with a soundblaster 16 and a internal double talkpc.  What do I need to do to make speakup work with my linux machine?

David,
If your speakup-0,08.patch file is in your /usr/src/linux directory, then
the commend works as documented.  If your patch file is in another place,
then you should:
cd /usr/src/linux  and
insert the path of your patch file before the < sign.
