OK. So I just get the kernel install it with apt and reboot? No messing 
with bootloaders is required?

The link didn't work for me?

I am on debian. etch. So will the following instructions still work for me?
Also my kernel is version
2.6.18-5

Hmmm I get an error with apt-get update. Can you in close the line in 
quotation marks?

When adding the following line and running apt-get update I get an error 
about this line.
"deb http://people.debian.org/~shane/speakup/kernel ./"

I also tried
"deb http://people.debian.org/~shane/speakup/kernel"
With no luck.
The error I get is:
"http://people.debian.org/~shane/speakup/kernel/ is not known on line in 
/etc/apt/sources.list"
Any ideas?
Or could I just download it to my system and install it manually?
If so how?

Thanks for your help. And if you could help me with this I would 
appreciate it.
