Using YUM to Update Speakup

[Janina Sajka]

What version of SpeakupModified Fedora are you running.

Please note the only new packages for F-7 from SpeakupModified in the
past several weeks are a new 2.6.23 kernel and a Firefox build. Ditto
for F-8.

To upgrade other packages installed, we rely on the standard Fedora
repositories. Therefore, your command would be much simpler:

yum upgrade
