5 Hi Zack,

7 The difference with the baselayout comes with baselayout-2.0.0, which is
8 ~masked right now. Basically, the init system gets reworked in that
9 version. But, for now, if you are running the stable baselayout, just
10 put the module in /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 and you will be
11 fine.
12
13 No, you do not need to be running the latest kernel before you emerge
14 speakup, just make sure that the /usr/src/linux symlink points to the
15 latest version of the kernel.
