Red Hat install problems.

Hi Tommy,

     If you can get access to a Zoot system with the original 2.2.14-5.0 
kernel source installed, copy the BOOT configuration found in the
configs directory in the source tree, patch Speakup into the kernel, do
a make oldconfig, and do: make EXTRAVERSION=-5.0BOOT dep bzImage.  When
it's finished cooking., you should have a bzImage file you can copy to
vmlinuz on the bootdisk.  I have a version of keymaps.gz that Phil Hall
made for us.  I don't know much about it, but it goes in the etc
directory in the initrd.img file.  If you can, you should use
redhat-7.0.  The images on the Speakup site were made in the way I have
described.  Let's talk more about this on the reflector.

          HTH and 73.
          Bill
