Redhat 8.0 updates

[Joseph Norton]

Hi listers:

I know that speakup is gone from RH 8.0, but, when I run an update with 
the up2date program, it gets the latest kernel that 8.0 uses 
(2.4.20-something).  Also, however, it gets something which identifies 
itself as v2.4.18.2780-debug (I may not have the punctuarion correct 
there), which still has speakup in it.  Also, the 2.4.20 kernel is there 
without speakup, but, it is not the default grub option.  

Any caveats to this that I need to be aware of?  The v2.4.18.2780 kernel 
seems to work ok, but, I know there were some issues with some other 
packages that needed 2.4.20.  I may go ahead and play with the rh9 disks 
up on the ftp site, but, I am also curious about rh8 as well.

Thanks!
