trying to get speakup to work as modules on Ubuntu 9.04

[Georgina Joyce]

Hi


Did you run depmod?  I can't remember what switches you need for depmod
to get speakup up and working.

If you cd to /lib/modules/<kernel version>/extra/ is there a speakup
directory there?

four kinds of freedom, for the users of the software:

    * The freedom to run the program, for any purpose (freedom 0).
    * The freedom to study how the program works, and adapt it to your
needs (freedom 1). Access to the source code is a precondition for this.
    * The freedom to redistribute copies so you can help your neighbor
(freedom 2).
    * The freedom to improve the program, and release your improvements
to the public, so that the whole community benefits (freedom 3). Access
to the source code is a precondition for this.
