patching speakup into my kernel

[Don Raikes]

Hello,

I have retrieved the git repository for speakup using:

git-clone http://linux-speakup.org/speakup.git

then git fetch

Now, how do I go about patching my kernel with speakup?
I am running fc9 at the moment. This is a test install for me once I figure out the process of patching speakup into my kernel and building the kernel, I want to upgrade to a later version.

Any info/pointers would be greatly appreciated.
