Setup disk needed.

[Jacob Schmude]

Hi
     Ah, one small problem. Mandrake's X-based, including the
installation. X windows is not accessible to us yet, and from what I can
gather from mandrake's documentation, most of the configuration tools are
also X based, with the exception of linuxconf. If you or your friend want
a Red Hat like distro, why not use the real thing? Since X is not
accessible yet, speakup on a mandrake disk won't do you a bit of good.
Every version of mandrake from 7.0 and above has gone almost totally
graphical. I used mandrake 6.0 for a time, at that time it was almost
indistinguishable from red hat. The only thing that did distinguish it
from Red Hat were the pentium optimizations, which caused serious
instabilities on my machine.
