install questions

Hi all,
A couple of install questions.  First I installed Redhat 6.2 on my system
using the speakup boot disk.  It went ok, except I goofed when it asked me
for a keyboard, and I didn't use the speakup.map keyboard.  I chose RO.  I
hope that this is my only problem, because I am not aware if speakup is
supposed to be installed to the hard drive when using a boot disk with it on
it or if I still have to go get the source and compile a kernel.  I am
assuming the latter, because when I boot into linux, the braille and speak
just gives me a slight bit of jiberish for a few seconds and then is silent.
Any help on this would be appreciated, and some idea what I would need for
the kernel would be helpful also, what I mean by that statement is that if
there's already a basic kernel that is pre-compiled that I can just download
and copy to the hard drive where I need it I would grately appreciate it.  I
am very new to the whole linux environment, and at present the kernel
documentation is confusing me.  Again any help would be useful.
Thanks in advance
Chris Schulte
