e: Software Speech for SpeakupNewbe, to Linux. Speakup for Debian 2.4.22-2

[Sean Murphy]

Hi All.

I am running kernal 2.4.22-2-686.  I would like to know if anyone has built
speakup for this kernal version and have it in the deb package.  It doesn't
have to be in the package.

I have tryed to compile the application and didn't have any success.  I will
report on my failure later.

Regards
Sean
