Installing speakup from CVS

Ok, let me see if I can help you out a bit. The .cvspass file should
be an empty file in your home directory. To create it, you simply need
to run the following:

touch $HOME/.cvspass

If you look at this file after having used cvs, you will see that it
in fact isn't empty, but the checkout script and cvs it self as far as
I know, needs an empty .cvspass file in the home directory to begin
with. I know you said you already created a .cvspass file, but I want
to make sure we're on the same page.

I have no idea what the absolute path problem is all about without
seeing the actual message you get, but at a guess, make sure that you
have a /usr/src/linux softlink pointing to your linux source tree,
(I.E. after untaring the kernel source in /usr/src for example, using
linux 2.6.13.4 as an example, do:

ln -s /usr/src/linux-2.6.13.4 /usr/src/linux

)

As for the password, Kirk says that if you want something, you should
nicely ask for it, or something like that, so the password is

please

. Hth.
