Howdy, |
2 |
Just a note to congratulate you on getting the Gentoo installation up and |
3 |
running. I have had a similar system up for a couple of weeks now, and am |
4 |
glad to report that it isn't behaving eratically or causing trouble. |
5 |
I might also be able to shed some light on the Speakup from CVS issue. The |
6 |
Gentoo-sources kernel I have, 2.6.20-r2, seems to take CVS from late October |
7 |
of last year. I don't think that's necesarily the most current version, but |
8 |
have no way of being sure. I wouldn't advise taking that kernel and |
9 |
patching the latest Speakup CVS into it: that might cause trouble. |
10 |
Gentoo does offer a Vanilla kernel, though there are some caviots about |
11 |
support and security updates. In any case, that is probably what you'd want |
12 |
if you wished to patch speakup into the thing yourself. I haven't ever had |
13 |
a need to do this. |
14 |
Hope this helps, |
15 |
Zack. |
