installing ubuntu with speakup

[David]

How do one use the generic kernel while installing?  I just pop the disk in,
boot, and follow the questions [well, someone is reading them to me]

If you had the option to use generic kernel when doing a reinstall the
speakup modules are in that kernel.  How you install missing modules is
possible if on your disk in source code but you'll have to build them
correctly first.  If you had mlocate package installed and had done updatedb
first then you could do locate speakup_soft and find if you have that module
in source code on your disk.  Alternatively ubuntu in its customizations
could have blacklisted all of the speakup modules.  They would be on the
disk and would have first to be removed from the blacklist then built and
then installed.  It's a complicated process, just the way ubuntu wants it.
