I did a git-clone http://www.linux-speakup.org/speakup.git What does this do? Does it patch already-existing binaries together, such as taking the already-existing binary of the kernel and patch the new speakup into it? Does it build another kernel? Exactly what did this do? Where are the files, if any, that it pulled down? Sorry to ask such a weird question, but I need to know. Thanks. -- Doug Smith: C.S.F.C. Computer Scientist For CHRIST
