Hi, Bill. Thanks for the info. Actually, someone told me it was 7.4, but  
after looking at the ftp site I see it is 8.0. Thanks for the correction, 
and tips.
I guess I can wait a week or two for the full version if it is that close.
It looks like many mirrors hve just added a 8.0 branch, and as you say it 
usually doesn't take long after the branch appears before it actually gets 
contents.

The reason people have been confusing v8.0 with v7.4 is that RedHat themselves called the original directory 7.4beta.
Apparently for some time they weren't sure whether to release it as 7.4 or 8.0.
the actual version number on NULL (the beta release) is 7.3.94.
I hope that helps to fix up some of the confusion.
(those of us who have our RHCE were hoping it would be 7.4 not 8.0 since it means our RHCE would have been valid longer, but oh well).

Hi, list. It is my understanding RH 7.4 has Speakup already compiled in as
well as some newer packages I need for some current projects. Is it true
Speakup is already compiled in?

Next, what is a good web site to grab the beta isos from? Thanks.

yes its true its compiled in,
and even the keymaps are included.
I did an install of rh7.4 beta (null) on my own off sock standard cds.
Just be aware that once you boot up, you'll need to add
RUN_FIRSTBOOT=no
to etc/sysconfig/firstboot
otherwise it'll keep trying to run an X application to do soundcard and printer configs.
other than that you should be fine.
As for an ftp site, I'm not sure, i get mine from a local mirror at work (which isn't publicly accessible).

Aaron

Interesting! If you find it I'de be interested in having a look.  It may
have an updated version of emacs that works with w3.  Oh, by the way, still
haven't got w3 working.  I haven't had time over the last few weeks.  I'll
probably get back to it in a few days.

The version of emacs shipped is 21.2.
The version of emacspeak is 16.0
In case that helps at all.

Hi,

     Where did you get the 7.4 number?  Everyones guess was 8.0 because of 
the new glibc and gcc-3.2.  As it happens, last night an 8.0 directory 
appeared on the FTP site.  Generally, it takes about a week before the 
directory becomes readable, giving time for mirror sites to get caught up.  
If you can wait a week, keeping in mind that there's no guarantee that 
it'll be released then, cool.  Or, maybe you can still get the beta from:
ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/beta/null/
I suggest that you try to find a mirror.

          HTH.
