Installing speakup on Ubuntu 7.10

I used git for the first time yesterday so was able to download the
latest speakup for that moment.  I do have some questions now.  Is
this locked to 2.6.24 kernels? I saw reference to 2.6.24 in the build
script and if I recall, there was a 2.6.24 file in the mix.

What is the difference between the tarball the makedist builds and
just tarring up the speakup folder from git?

Also, you mentioned that you can only select a single synth.  Does
this mean you can only build one module per compilation or can you
build all the modules you want? Does the restriction apply to static
compilations?

I guess the serial port stuff is working again, right?


Thanks for clarifying.
