They are for Red Hat Linux 7x, 8.0, 9, and Fedora Core 1. There's a glitch with the Fedora kernels. I had to change the release number because the stock release numbers are too long for the installer, once the Speakup modifier is added to the end. I guess I don't know enough about how the release numbers are incremented. The result is that RPM thinks that the new kernel is older than the one that's presently installed. The work-around is to add the "--oldpackage" keyword to the command line. For example: "rpm -iv kernel-2.4.2-2a.nptlspk2.i686.rpm --oldpackage". Installation ISO's for Red Hat Linux 9 and Fedora Core 1 will appear tomorrow. HTH. Bill in Denver
