I rebuilt the kernel RPMS in order to patch in Speakup, http://linux-speakup.org/, and rebuilt the installation image using Forest's patch to buildinstall with the following command-line. /root/bin/buildinstall --pkgorder /tmp/pkgorder.txt --comp /home/wacker/yarrow/i386/Fedora/base/comps.xml --version 1 \ --release "Fedora Core 1" --product "Fedora Core" --prodpath Fedora /home/wacker/yarrow/i386 So, now there are at least two of us. Does anyone have any ideas? -- Bill in Denver
