look in the zaptel source directory and you will see a file called README26
(i think, or something like that)  i am not a linux expert but my linux
'experienced' partner told me something about the 2.6 kernel...

the docs for FC1&2 are not quite as good as the ones for RH7&9 but the
basics are the same.

this is a good one that I used with my first RH install

if you really want to be safe, just do a 'complete' FC2 install and make
sure that you check out the README files in the SRC directories.

Have fun!
