kernel compile gone wrong.

[Shaun Oliver]

I can. you don't need to get the tar.gz archive.
all you need is the kernel sources from ftp://ftp.kernel.org and then the
checkout script from
ftp://linux-speakup.org .
then you do chmod 755 checkout to make it executeable,
and run it.
after of course you've unpacked the kernel source tree.
