speakup doesn't patch into 2.6.22.6

[Doug Sutherland]

Linux from scratch is completely compiled from source 
and isn't really a distribution. It could be made into one, 
but what results is really quite large in disk space used
and it's tedious to maintain. It is definitely interesting and 
a great experience to build the entire mess from source, 
but I think it would make more sense to use another 
distro's baseline to build a new distro. Otherwise, too 
much time is spent on really basic things before you 
even get to anything specific to speech or command line 
tools. I made a linux from scratch distro a couple of 
years ago that I was putting on several machines but 
it is too much work to maintain. It will certainly give 
you much appreciation for the work that goes into 
slackware, debian, gentoo, ubuntu, etc.

There are a few live CD images of linux from scratch 
around though that may be interesting as a baseline 
for a speech enabled bootable image.
