Hello everyone.
I would like to install fc4, and I understand that I need to install a 
speakup modified kernel after installing fc4.

Does anyone know the files I need to obtain, and how to install them?

Thanks,

Jeremy

Janina,

Do you have a yum repo tree on 
speakupmodified.org

If not, it may not be a bad idea, because then all the user would need
to do is a yum -y upgrade and the kernels would be picked up.
That is of course once the user has added the speakup.repo to their
/etc/yum.repo.d directory.
If you would like some assistance setting this up, I would be glad to
help out.

Hi Jeremy,

I can tell you that if you go to ftp://ftp.linux-speakup.org and then 
go to /pub/speakup/disks/fedora/4.   This then brings you in to the 
list which shows rpms and srpms.  If you are not familiar with srpms I 
would suggest that you ask about them.  As I understand it srpms are
development rpms.  However, you want to go to the rpm section.  In here 
you need to identify what type of system you have.  For example, if you 
have a 586 that I believe is a lower Pentium machine but if you have a 
686 that is I believe current.  I can't tell you though how to install 
them because I have some questions myself which I will attach here.

First, is the Speakup modified kernel ready to rock and roll for 
software speech.  My  other question is the saqme as yours how does 
this rpm get installed I know it is something like:  rpm blank but not 
sure of the syntax.  Original message:
