I Think Egore was simply patching the kernel and then taring up the
whold kernel modified source tree.  I want to make just the tar ball
containing the Speakup patches.

On another note, I just got thru trying to compile Linux-2.6.16.12 with
Speakup patches as of 3/20/2006 and the patching went fine as I
mentioned earlier but I get compile errors in a speakup module.  I don't
have the error in front of me but it has to do with a structure with no
name or something similar.  I wonder if I have to go back further in
time to get this to work.  Is Linux-2.6.16.12 a bad choice to work with?
Do I have to go back to an earlier kernel?
