kernel compile gone wrong.

[Tim Burgess]

Hi,

I've read the cvs documentation, but I don't have an internet connection
active on my Linux box at this time - my access to my ISP is via a networked
Windows NT box (OK, I know you guys are gonna hate me now - grin!).  This
means, I would guess, that the cvs route is now closed to me until I get my
Linux dial-up issue sorted.  I've crated a new source tree based on 2.4.9
and patched it for ac10, so can I manually patch using the SpeakUp tar ball
as I did for 0.09, or is this really a kiss of death?

Thanks for the help so far folks, just this last hurdle to go and I should
be there with speech on an up-to-date kernel.  If I can get this far then I
can progress to Internet access from this box using my ISDN card and a Squid
proxy.  Should be fun!

cheers.

Tim

Since you have the speakup 0.10a archive, look in there for a README.cvs
or CVS and read that. It explains a bit more about the checkout process
mentioned above. Like mentioned elseware, do *NOT* put the old speakup
into the kernel source tree.  Use the fresh kernel source before running
checkout.
