New Red Hat Linux/Fedora Core kernels.

[William F. Acker WB2FLW +1-303-722-7209]

Hi all,

     New kernels are being built and uploaded to the Speakup Site this
evening into tomorrow morning.  They are for Red Hat Linux 7x, 8.0, 9, and
Fedora Core 1.  There's a glitch with the Fedora kernels.  I had to change
the release number because the stock release numbers are too long for the
installer, once the Speakup modifier is added to the end.  I guess I don't
know enough about how the release numbers are incremented.  The result is
that RPM thinks that the new kernel is older than the one that's presently
installed.  The work-around is to add the "--oldpackage"  keyword to the
command line.  For example: "rpm -iv kernel-2.4.2-2a.nptlspk2.i686.rpm
--oldpackage".

     Installation ISO's for Red Hat Linux 9 and Fedora Core 1 will appear 
tomorrow.
          HTH.
