Hi, I am sure allot has been said on this topic so I will be brief. You can certainly get the kernal packages prebuilt with speakup, and do the rpm-Uv command on them to install them. Of course as many have said if you have time and patients making a clean kernel is the best thing to do. You can shrink the kernel down, get only the modules you want, and etc. ----- Original Message ----- From: Joe Clever <jclever@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Saturday, January 12, 2002 6:45 PM Subject: Newbie, Adding Speakup to existing RH7.2 installation > Hi Listers, > > I am a low vision user of linux and would like to add speakup to my laptop. > I have been futzing around with linux for about a year, but am still a > newbie.
