HELP!!! Can't compile speakup in Slackware kernel

[Doug Sutherland]

Lorenzo,

That might work, but Owen said that he's really depending
on the CVS version of speakup, and he didn't seem to think
that the 1.0 version would work. What's the problem with
your laptop net connection?

One thing I do all the time is move laptop hard drives and
mount them as slave on another system, to copy files over.
There are adapters that convert 40-pin IDE (desktop standard)
to 44-pin IDE (laptop standard). Or maybe you can use some
other method like direct cable connection or something. What
OS is on the laptop, just linux? I have seen ways to connect
machines with parallel cables or usb cables.
