Updating to Fedora Core 5

[Dawes, Stephen]

I don't have the exact syntax with me, I am at work, and it is on my
home system.
I will say that you can figure it out by reading the .repo file, and
simply making a few minor changes to the file, and saving it as 
Speakup.repo for example.
The lines to change are the first line, this is the paragraph start. It
looks like 
[SOMETEXT]
You may want to change it to something like
[speakup]
The next line you can add speakup after the = symbol if you like.
The 3rd line is the url to the location of the speakup repository.
Again, you'll have to figure this one out, because I don't have it
memorized.

Lastly, you need to make sure that you can update / upgrade kernels. 
Some people tell yum to exclude kernel updates, which is not what you
want to do.

As to telnet. 
You shouldn't have a problem, and you will need to reboot after the
kernel is updated to avoid a lot of conflicts.
