Use module-assistent, have you installed speakup-doc and read the installation notes for debian? Works fine for me, and very easy to do. No need to build a kernel from source, but it won't build the synth into the kernel just as modules. > Even after you compile the modules, you still have to adjust your boot > configuration to start Speakup with what synth you want. True I guess, but you can modprobe it then edit /etc/modules. I only use software speech, so not sure how you would tell it what port your synth is on, if you are using modprobe and your synth driver is built as a module... -- Daniel Dalton http://members.iinet.net.au/~ddalton/
