OK. I think you need to learn how to find things on your computer.

Some strategies for you:

1.)	the locate command. It's very cool. I often use it with grep
like this:

locate kernel |grep -v src

which says show me all files that have "kernel" in the filename except
for those that also have "src" as part of the path or the filename.

If I wanted to see all the rpm packages that have kernel, but not src, I
would do:

locate kernel |grep -v src |grep rpm

2.)	find is your powerful friend. To "start from here (as in pwd)
and look through all files in all subdirectories below where I am that
start with "kernel" I might do:

find . -name kernel*

PS: The answer to your "where is it question" is /usr/local/etc. I gave
you the rest because you've asked several "where is it" questions in the
last week. You can also take your questions like this to Google, by the
way. You'd be delighted if you'd simply go to
http://www.google.com/linux and put "speechd_up" into the search field.

So, my friend, learn to fish. I'm done giving you fish.
