Kernel Compilation

[Alex Snow]

Hi.
Yes slackware 10.0 is full 2.6 ready. the latest 2.6 kernel (2.6.10 I 
think) should run fine.

The way I usually configure kernels is with make menuconfig. That's a 
much nicer interface then make config. just go through each catigory 
and make sure what you need is selected. much easier then answering 
all those questions from make config. so the steps you follow after 
patching speakup in (I assume you know how to do this) are:
cd /usr/src/linux
make mrproper
make menuconfig
make dep
make modules
make bzImage
make modules_install.

Linus what I think about backspace and delete not working.
