Hi,
I don't know how you did it, so I'll take it from the top. First, cd
/usr/src/linux-2.4. Next, do: make mrproper
cp configs/kernel-2.4.18-i586.config .config
Using an editor, delete the lines you want to change from .config. make
oldconfig
Answer the questions pertaining to what you just deleted. now, make dep
bzImage modules modules_install install. That'll give you a kernel ending
in the word "custom". Check lilo.conf, or grub.conf and run lilo if
appropriate.
Now that I've explained how to do it, I ask if it's really necessary.
Like you, i was hoping that RH would compile the speakup keymap into the
kernel. I don't know what the downside of this would be, though. I've
found
that if you just hit a key like CTRL a few times when you first boot, the
keymap will be loaded relatively early in the boot process which will
allow you to shut the system up for the remainder of the boot.
HTH and 73.
