I was just looking at the docs that come with the speakup-source debian package, and there is something I'm confused on. Let's say for example, that I am running a 2.6.25.12 custom-built kernel via kernel-package from the stock kernel.org sources, and that I want to upgrade to a custom-built 2.6.26 kernel built via kernel-package, again from stock kernel.org source. The way I understand the module-assistant man page, I have to: 1. Build the 2.6.26 kernel package, and install it. 2. Reboot into the new 2.6.26 kernel. 3. Ssh into the newly booted machine. 4. Build the speakup modules from the speakup-source package, as described in the instructions that come with that package. 5. Modprobe the synth module I need, and be able to go back to the machine's keyboard, now running 2.6.26 with speakup as modules. Is this correct, or is it in fact possible for me to build speakup from the speakup-source package for the 2.6.26 kernel, while still running 2.6.25.12, and thus avoid steps 2-3? This is my first time having to deal with module-assistant, I'm trying to understand in more detail what happens when the speakup-source package is built, without actually having to go through the procedure beforehand. Any clarification and elaboration on this would be much appreciated, and thanks in advance.
