Ubuntu modules for speakup, and other questions for Luke-Themuso

[Keith Hinton]

Luke,
I have a couple of questions regarding Ubuntu. They all concern the kernel, 
and speakup support.
First question is, this.
What kernel is latest Ubuntu Feisty using?
Does the Gnome terminal support the make menuconfig interface through Orca, 
or is there another way?
Could you perhaps use a regular ssh session and configure the kernel that 
way?
Can you compile it on the LiveCD directly, or must it be done on the 
hard-drive?
Next question is,
Can Speakup be recompiled directly into the kernel? (Compileing all the 
speakup related options under device drivers as [*] not [<M]?
