patching speakup 1.5 into RHAS 2.1

[Don Raikes]

Hi all,

Due to certification issues at Oracle, I am required to use RedHat ADvanced
Server 2.1 (3.0 when it is available).

The kernel is 2.4.9-e.12, and I want to add speakup to it.

I ran the install script that came with the speakup-1.5.tar.gz, and got the
following output.

Having only started with Linux about a month ago, where do I go from here?

The contents of the miscdevice.h.rej file are:
