I'm not sure when RH went from 32 to 64. As far as I've seen, its recommended that you have a PII at least to run RH9 and I don't remember the memory requirements but I'm limited to a max of 128 mb assuming I can find any 72 pin 32 mb modules. >Yes, you can certainly compile Speakup 1.5 into a kernel source from RH >7.x.

I'm not fully versed on all these Linux based terms yet. the kernal I'm using initially is version 2.4.20-28.9 and I think it should work for now. this is my first Linux system and I figure I will try things out on it until I get things working and procedures in place and then rebuild the system from scratch once I know what I'm doing. > > > > Thanks. > > At 11:43 11/12/03, you wrote: > > >For the current Fedora Core 1.0: > > > > > >http://www.linux-speakup.org/ftp/disks/fedora/1/ > > > > > >For previous versions under the Red Hat name: > > > > > >http://www.linux-speakup.org/ftp/disks/redhat/ > > > > > >PS: You might want to go to that last address using an ftp anonymous > > >login to get kernels for Red Hat 8.0 systems.
