Kernels in Debian

I thought as much concerning the speakup and kernel situation.  I
thought the 2.6.26 and later could somehow be done without having to
build a kernel? I'm thinking of those machines or situations where one
could sit down at the computer and drop in speakup without modifying
the kernel on that machine.  Are we not quite there yet?  I think it
would be really cool if one could slap Speakup modules on a thunb
drive or something and boot a linux machine that is being visitted and
have the speakup modules loaded from the USB device with a mere boot
parameter or something like that.  This would be similar to the U3
implementations in windows or the Screen reader on a stick concempt.
