-Now that Speakup is included in the mainline kernel it has been built
-into the huge kernel and added as modules to the generic kernel, so there
-is no longer a need to use a special kernel for Speakup.
-
-This is an archive of the speakup project's GIT HEAD snapped on the given
-day, and was used to build the speakup.s kernel. Grabbing Speakup's GIT
-repo (if you want the very latest) is done like this, by the way:
-
-git clone http://www.linux-speakup.org/speakup.git
-
-Then use "./makedist" to make the speakup-3.1.6.tar.bz2 tarball.
-
-To build the same kernel as Slackware included as speakup.s, you'll
-need to do this:
-
-Untar the speakup archive, and cd into the speakup directory:
-
-tar xf speakup-3.1.6.tar.bz2
-cd speakup-3.1.6
-
-Patch whatever kernel you happen to want to compile:
-./install /usr/src/linux-2.6.35.11
-
-Change to the kernel directory:
-cd /usr/src/linux-2.6.35.11
-
-If you want to start with the defaults one of Slackware's kernels, you can do
-that like this:
-
-cat /boot/vmlinuz-huge-2.6.35.11 > .config
-
-Or, better yet, if you have access to the Slackware tree use the
-Speakup .config that was used:
-
-cat (slacktree)/kernels/speakup.s/config > .config
-
-Then do any additional configuation to the kernel that you may require:
-
-make menuconfig
-
-You might want to check in Device Drivers -> Accessibility -> Speakup
-to make sure that Speakup support is configured to your liking.
-
-After that, it's build and install:
-make
-make modules_install
-make bzImage
-cat arch/x86/boot/bzImage > /boot/vmlinuz-huge-2.6.35.11-speakup
-
-I put the -speakup on the end of the kernel name so that I can remember
-which kernel I've patched, but that part is entirely optional.
-
-The next step will be to edit add the new kernel's modules to an initrd if
-you use one (if you didn't build in the root filesystem or something like
-that you will need an initrd). See "man mkinitrd" for more details on the
-subject of making an initrd.
-
-Now just add the new kernel (and possibly the /boot/initrd.gz) to
-/etc/lilo.conf, run lilo as root, and you are ready to reboot. Make sure
-to use an append="speakup parameters" type line in /etc/lilo.conf to
-configure speakup to use the proper synth driver. You many also need to
-specify the serial port or other parameters, like this:
-
-append="speakup.synth=dectlk speakup.ser=2"
-
-This line would attempt to use Speakup with a DecTalk Express on /dev/ttyS1.
-
-Note that with Speakup 3.x, the kernel parameter names have changed to
-contain dots rather than underscores. Other options have changed as
-well. Although perhaps not a complete list, I found these changes noted
-on the linuxfromscratch web site:
-
-speakup_synth became speakup.synth, and the "sftsyn" synthesizer became "soft";
-
-speakup_ser became speakup.ser, and serial ports are now numbered starting from 1,
-not from 0 (i.e., speakup_ser=1 became speakup.ser=2);
-
-speakup_quiet became speakup.quiet, valid values are 0 and 1;
-
-speakup_port became speakup.port.
-
-Good luck! :-)
