Last night we tried to install speakup1.0 and following the read me we couldn't get it to install. I'm running RedHat7.1. have the older speakup running fine but I'd like to update it. We moved the tarball ok and we just couldn't get it to find the directories it needed. My friend was assisting me and he was using xwindows. I did download the speakup.tar.gz from the speakup site. Is that the only file I need? I did see a speakup configuration file but I didn't think I should have downloaded that one so I didn't. I also would like to know if it's to my advantage to update RedHat to 7.2. That is going to be an extremely long download and before I do that I'd appreciate thoughts. My RedHat is running fine but I've always felt that it's important to keep up to date with changes. Thanks for any assistance.
