Hi Thanks much to everyone who answered my questions about installing rh9. I've got rh9 and cvs speakup up and running after handpatching keyboard.c and miscdevice.h. I must say it's better than rh7 which was the version I last used. However, how do I adjust the firewall level? I see a gui tool for doing it but nothing for textmode. One last question: How safe is it to divert away from the rh-supplied kernel configs? One of the problems in rh7 seemed to be that if I deviated too far from the rh standard, my modules would have many unresolved symbols, never could figure out why. Does this still happen? Thanks again.

That appears to be the one that RH adds. > HTH.
