alsa-driver-1.0.6

[Nick Gawronski]

Hi, One thing I don't understand is the 1.114 kernel and the 700 kernel, 
what one is newer because 700 is larger but 1.14 I am not sure what is 
the latest and I want the latest speakup modified kernel.  I understand 
rpm naming structure ok just not really sure what latest kernel is and 
also am wondering if I uninstall both kernel and kernel.src to use a 
stock kernel should I uninstall kernel-utils also to not mess up the 
installation of the new kernel and also What is the easiest way to 
automatically remove the .orage files that patch makes when speakup is 
installed so I can free up that space because that is what I want to do?
