The two problems that the RH folks, Matt Wilson in particular, mentioned
have been fixed. The problem with non-English keyboards, and
modularization. Only $DEITY knows if RH will ever put it back into the
kernel. Kernels for all supported versions of RHL/Fedora can be found at
ftp://linux-speakup.org/pub/disks/redhat/. Complete Speakup enabled ISO
images for 8.0 and 9 can also be found there. When FC-1 is released, I'll
build them also. BTW, the ISO's for 9 are fully up to date. The latest
version can have its modules manually included in an initrd.img file so it
starts upon boot.
HTH.
