small speakup and debian issues

[Nick Gawronski]

Hi, I am really using 2.6.18 kernel, miss typed the number.  If I rebuild 
the speakup kernel image package the way shane built it what is the command 
he uses to build the sources into a binary and do I need to do the make 
config or will makekpkg do this automatically?  Will it make a different 
package for modules and kernel or just one as I want my kernel in one 
package not two?  I know I need to recompile the kernel to change that 
option but is there a way speakup could be coded where that option would not 
have an effect on software synthisizers like flite?  Does the debian kernel 
that shane built have software synthisizer support?
