Is there any point in downloading the source rpm for the kernel and recompiling it? I installed the rpm like it says on the speakupmodified.org site to keep my fedora kernels with speakup up to date. After installing this rpm should I remove the exclude lines from /etc/yum.conf or leave them in? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Janina Sajka" To: "Speakup is a screen review system for Linux."
