Installing speakup from CVS

- From what I've been reading here, it sounds to me like someone just
checked out the cvs patches, and somehow put them in a tarball. From
what I understand, this can be done, but it's not a straight forward
job. What you should do is to have the person getting the cvs speakup
download a fresh kernel source tarball, untar that, patch it with cvs
speakup, tar it back up, and give that to you. Yes, it will be
probably about 40 megs bigger then just the speakup patches on
their own, but I think that's probably the easiest and best way to get
cvs speakup without cvs access.
