redHat advanced server 2.0 and speakup

[Janina Sajka]

Easiest way is probably to get an already patched kernel. "Advanced Server" will be based on one of the standard RH packagings, but I don't recall which one. If it's
7.3, you'd grab the latest kernel for 7.3, for example.

Kernels for 7.3 and 8.0 are still available on the Speakup Modified page via anonymous ftp to www.linux-speakup.org. Once logged in, cd pub/speakup/disks/redhat and
take it from there.

Else, you would grab the kernel-source, patch with the latest stable Speakup 1.5 and compile. The rpm route above is much quicker and certainly easier if you've not
compiled a kernel before.
