kernel compile gone wrong.

Hi,

I'm having a bad day - I've just sent a message to the list describing my
network and didn't include the Windows 2000 server.  This server runs DHCP
and WINS, but no DNS (mainly because I don't know how to configure it).

I guess I'm suffering from MS-itis - I'm used to wizard-driven installation
where you can make some (semi)-intelligent guesses and get it running.  I'm
finding the Linux thing interesting, but very confusing because it's such a
different way of doing things.

Sorry to be a time-wasting pain in the ass.

Tim

In order to use the speakup 0.10a tar ball,
You need to downgrade to kernel 2.4.6.
0.10a only works with kernels 2.2.18-2.4.6.
