There's a simpler way. Simply download the appropriate Linux kernel rpm file for your architecture and install it. Note that you will need to edit your grub.conf (if you use grub), or your lilo.conf (if you use lilo). Be sure to use a kernel for the appropriate version of Fedora Core (either 1 or 2, as of this writing). The Speakup Modified ftp tree begins at: www.linux-speakup.org Log in there via anonymous ftp and: cd pub/speakup/disks/fedora/ PS: If you must compile your own kernel, you may find it instructive to compare the appropriate config file for your architecture. In this case download and install the appropriate kernel src package from the SRPMS directory. PPS: I suppose I ought to edit the home page to provide a direct mechanism for people to get at these files via their web browsers. This task is now on my todo list--so coming soon. ace writes: > Hello, > > I am using Fedora Core II. It was originally compiled without Speakup > support.
