What parts of Redhat are modified for the Speakup install

Hi,

     If you use the Talking boot-floppy with the standard disks,  You can 
install with speech provided you don't insert the CD until it's asked for, 
but when you're done, you won't have speech.  The reason is that Rh uses a 
different kernel for installation from the one that winds up getting 
installed.  
In order to make the SPeakup keymaps available, the console-tools and 
anaconda packages are modified.  Anaconda is the installer.

          HTH.
          Bill
