New Installation of Speakup 1.00

[Keith Creasy]

OK. I think I didn't make myself very clear before. I did download and
unpack the 2.4.17 version of the Linux kernel. Do I need to compile and
boot with that kernel before I can patch it with the speakup installation?

Installing Slackware 8.0 sounds like a great idea, but I've had trouble
finding it.  Most of the sites I've check still only have up to 7.1. 

Thanks.

Keith
