avoiding new kernel hijacks

[Jude DaShiell]

Line 3 of /etc/system-config/kernel has a yes in it that makes kernel 
hijacks possible, change that to no and you prevent speakup kernel from 
being replaced as default in future.  The 0 entry is the default kernel in 
menu.list or grub.conf and it's what will be used to boot without user 
intervention.  At least in fc3, you could also include exclude=kernel* in 
/etc/yum.conf to prevent kernel updates from being installed too.  I'm 
sure debian can do this too but haven't researched that so won't write out 
of turn.  Anyone running fc3 really should visit http://www.fedoranews.com 
and have a look at the faq file on repositories.  The reason it's called 
fedora core in the first place is other packages useable are being 
archived on other repositories and can be downloaded if you get the right 
contents in a /etc/yum.conf file.  That site has a yum.conf file available 
for download that includes lots more repositories.
