It's not a stupid question. The first floppy drive for most people is /dev/fd0

Hi, what distro are you using? If Red Hat and you want to mount the floppy
try:

mount /mnt/floppy/

Re: stupid question

In that case, your mount command would be something like:
mount /dev/fd0 /mnt

stupid question

[Deedra Waters]

     I've  run the cvs update and it patched with no problems. this isn't
the first time I've run it, I guess what I'm asking is when I run the
script from /usr/src/linux/drivers/char/speakup  do I still need to
recompile the kernel like I had to do the firsst time?

Re: stupid question

[John Covici]

Yup, although you only need make the bzImage and not the rest of the
compile steps.

Re: stupid question

[Raul A. Gallegos]

lol.  Well I guess I've been doing extra steps then.  I didn't know
that only make bzImage was needed.  I knew you didnt' have to recompile
the modules if any but I thought you had to redo the dependencies and
all that.  Well, that is what we are here for, to learn.

Re: stupid question

[Adam Myrow]

You have to do "make dep" any time you change your configuration, or
any time you "make clean."  Same goes for "make mrproper."  BTW: what I do
is to copy my .config to another place outside the kernel source tree once
I get a stable kernel.  Then, when I want to build a new kernel, I put the
.config back, do a "make oldconfig," and the rest of the steps.  It makes
life easier both for upgrades and recompiles of an existing version.  I
back up .config again each time I upgrade or change something, of course.

Re: stupid question

Should only have to do after the update
make dep
make bzimage
make install I believe.

Re: stupid question

Don't you also need to do make oldconfig, make modules, and make modules_install as well?

The only stupid question is the unasked one. *smile*.  The answer is
yes.  The kernel image does not know about any source code changes that 
are made to it so you have to recompile the kernel each time you patch
it.  Usually what I do when I patch a new speakup in is run the
checkout script then do the following from /usr/src/linux

cp .config config.tmp
make mrproper
cp config.tmp .config
make oldconfig
make dep > dep.out 2>&1 &
make bzImage > bzImage.out 2>&1 &

Since I normally dont' have any modules compiled in that is all I do.
Then I move the newly compiled kernel image from
/usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/ to where ever your kernel lives on your
system to be read by lilo.

Re: stupid question

[Gregory Nowak]

Any time you patch your current
tree with a update of speakup from cvs,
you need to recompile your kernel.
