However, I've become aware through reading the LFS book that = the kernel headers are a rather important thing. Slackware ships with = 2.4.33.3. I'm pretty sure that the kernel headers are 2.4.33.3 as well. All that being said, I'd like to get Speakup support with a more = recent kernel. I know I can probably download, compile, etc. something = like 2.6.20 or 2.6.21. I know also that Slackware provides 2.6.17 in = Extra. My question is: does that 2.6.17 version already have Speakup = included? If not, should I download its source code from a Slackware = package site and patch it in myself? And what about those pesky = headers? Sorry for the barrage of questions. I'm confedent once I figure out = what exactly is happening I'll be good to go. Thanks, Zack.
