Thanks, I understand that, and this is exactly what the speakup-source
package does as far as I can tell. Maybe I wasn't asking what I want
to know in the best way, so let me try to clarify. The
module-assistant man page reiterates more than once, that you should
be building modules against the source of the currently running
kernel. So, what I wanted to know is can I use the speakup-source
package to build the speakup modules against the 2.6.26 kernel, while
still running 2.6.25.12, or must I be running 2.6.26 to build the
speakup modules against it?

Hopefully, this makes what I'd like to know a bit clearer. Thanks.

Greg
