Hi, I uninstalled the kernel and did an install when installing the kernel. Is there any point in downloading the source rpm for the kernel and recompiling it? I installed the rpm like it says on the speakupmodified.org site to keep my fedora kernels with speakup up to date. After installing this rpm should I remove the exclude lines from /etc/yum.conf or leave them in? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Janina Sajka" <janina@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: "Speakup is a screen review system for Linux." <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Monday, April 02, 2007 8:21 AM Subject: Re: now speakup won't speak on my fedora core 6 installation > Nick Gawronski writes: >> Hi, I have added the following lines to /boot/grub/menu.lst >> >> title fedora core 6 > f you want grub to beep, stick a ctrl-g in there, perhaps before the 'F' > in Fedora. > >> When I upgraded the kernel > Suggest you do install for kernels and not upgrade.
