The official kernel on the Debian cd is 2.2.17-pre6 but the speakup one is 2.2.13 or so. This means if you intend to install with speakup; you _must_ get your driver disks and boot disk and root disk *from the speakup sight*. The upshot of this is you get an older kernel but you can upgrade that later. I should really help compile some more new Debian kernels and update the potato images to what stable actually is. Regards, Kerry.
