Hi Brent Well, you can certainly turn an option on, bu the results will be on your own head in rh, at least that's always been my experience. I've always had trouble with it, especially some of those funky patches that should not have been applied. My attitude is if I want to test a beta patch, I'll apply it myself and test it, which I often do. However, I always have the patch file to reverse it should it not work. RH does not give you these. I do believe that if we could get rid of some of those patches, we could successfully build a speakup kernel out of a redhat source RPM. It should be noted, that I'm not bashing RH only. Mandrake and TurboLinux do this exact same thing. Mandrake is, by far, the absolute worst distro as far as stability goes. At least RH is pretty stable apart from its kernel trouble.
