Upgrading from RH8 to RH9I am wondering if it is possible to run an update from RH8 to RH9 and still keep speakup?

[Lorenzo Prince]

PRobably the easiest way to go and have speakup all the way is to do a 
google search for the redhat port of apt.  Then you can simply change all 
the 8.0's in your /etc/apt/sources.list to 9', do "apt-get update" and 
"apt-get dist-upgrade" and then grab the redhat 9 speakup kernel RPM's 
from the speakup ftp and install as normal.  Then you can just be sure 
your boot loader is configured correctly and then reboot.  You will never 
lose speakup in this process, and you don't have to waste any CD's, that 
is, of course, unless you want a backup of RH9 to use as a rescue disk or 
something.

Hope this helps.
