Hi, all: I'm not the same New user" that did the earlier notes on this thread, but I'm still a little confused here... I knew that with RedHat 6.2 I needed to upgrade the Kernel to get my system to speak, but I thought that with Redhat 7.1 and Kernel 2.4.2 that speakup was already compiled in and once I did the install I could get my system to talk with the right parameters. I'm in the process of downloading the kernel RPM's from the octothorp web site, but is it true that I really do have to install these? Bill had taken me through the install when I had 6.2, but I lost the notes I had tried to take. I do remember that I needed to remove all the existing RPM's, then install, but I know I also had to go into lilo to complete the process. I don't remember that part (sigh). bil, can you or someone remind me? Is there anything written anywhere regarding how to do this? If not, I'm thinking seriously of putting something together. Thanks for any help.
