speakup (cvs) and Kernel 2.4.20

[Igor Gueths]

Hy Gene. Its strange that you say that. I got that option to work
successfully when upgrading from 2.2 to 2.4.18. I did not try 2.4.20
however.

May you code in the power of the source,
may the kernel, libraries, and utilities be with you,
throughout all distributions until the end of the epoch.
