Hi, I have compiled kernels before and have no problems doing it but one thing in fedora that might mess up things. I have the kernel rpms installed for both kernel and kernel-doc and kernelsrc and I want to completely remove all traces of the redhat fedora core 3 kernels and use my own kernel sources in /usr/src/linux. If I download the latest kernel and it version is 2.6.11.8 it will extract as /usr/src/linux-2.6.11.8 not /usr/src/linux like the speakup patch requires and in README with kernel 2.6 it says don't use /usr/src/linux area but that area does not even exist. I also want to remove the fedora kernel from grub and just have one kernel installed, how would I go about this as well as before adding a new kernel as the default and the old one as a backup and boot dith the new one? Which speakup should I use 2.0 tarball or latest cvs version? bye My web page is at http://www.nickgawronski.com
