Yes, I figured that much, and was hoping for something more specific.

I described what I went through in my original post. I'm booted into
the actual system that I installed, so no need to be in grml at this
point, though I couldn't have done the install of this system without
it. As for changing the KERNELDIR variable, I don't see the need for
it at this point, since uname -r returns the kernel version that I'm
building the modules against. If you had some other reason for
changing KERNELDIr, then please be clear on what it should be changed
to read as.

If I go back to how things were before I started the build by removing
the build symlink from /lib/modules/2.6.26-2-amd64, , and attempt to
run make clean from the speakup source, I get:

make -C /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build M=`pwd` `cat allmodule.mk` clean
make: *** /lib/modules/2.6.26-2-amd64/build: No such file or
directory.  Stop.
make: *** [clean] Error 2

which is what I'd expect, since it can't find the kernel source to
build against. Thanks.

Greg
