rebuilding kernel

[Darrell Shandrow]

Hi Janina,

First, thanks for the excellent advice to go ahead and download the 
modified ISO images for RedHat 7.2.  I re-made the boot disk, downloaded 
and burned the modified image files, then installed everything!  Worked 
like a charm; I just wish Speakup could track those menu bars a little 
better...  :-)

Thanks also for the warning about the Kernel.  I guess when it comes to 
RedHat, one had better get the kernel from them, just to be sure you don't 
have trouble...

Thanks.
