redhat speakup distribution and lynx.

[Janina Sajka]

Hi, Ed:

To be truthful, I don't know exactly what packages of interest to
us are left out in a server class installation. I usually do
custom and everything. Or, if I don't, I go through the list of
packages to check for things I want. That is tedious, though. One
of these days I will make a list.
