Thanks,

I'm there, now, and about to get 2.4.9 (the same version as in RH 7.2.  
I've attempted to build kernels in the past.  What I ws looking for is 
what choices were in the "make config" for the "out-of-the-box" RH7.2 
kernel.  I know that I'd have to patch Speakup and the key map in, 
assuming I want it.  What, for instance, is Redhat's initialization type?  
I'm prompted to decide between System V and BSD.  How do I figure out what 
Redhat chose to install as modules?

Thanks,


-Dave
