Thanks Tony for that good summary of steps.  I also looked around in
the /usr/share/doc/kernel-package (I believe it's called) and there
was a good write-up there too.  Your steps confirmed my observation
about where to put the speakup/*.ko modules.  I found out the hard way
I had to mv them down to the speakup directory.  I would have thought
the 'make modules_install' would have done this directly.

I'll have to read up on modules-assistent.  I didn't do anything in
that area yesterday and speakup is working for me.  I did install the
kernel headers; I'll have to take stock of the kernel stuff I did
install but I had not untarred the source tree yet.  I'm currently
satisfied with using modules right now.  I may eventually go with a
strait kernel with one speakup module included and bypass initrd
completely.  Personally, I wonder about the usefullness of a initrd on
a large desktop of my own.  I suppose those are good for smaller
systems where decisions have to be made as to which modules to
include.
