Hello all

[Klarich, Terry]

Hey Jim:

Thanks for the note on Bill being the person who built the redhat
installation disks.  I plan to upgrade my home machine from 6.0 to 6.2 this
weekend by using speakup.  (Can't wait)!

Actually, I am a senior systems analyst for Williams Communications group
(wcg).  I primarily design and take care of large sun clusters running
solaris.  We have some AIX and hpux equipment as well.

Like you, I would not even consider installing redhat via ppp.

Terry

Hi Terry,
And I thought I'd been around UNIX for a long time, my first exposure was
with SUN/OS around 1992.  By the way, Bill Acker is the ultimate authority
on which disk names are what, because he built the Redhat ones.  Though
I've been programming in C since about the mid 80s, I know nothing about
kernel hacking or drivers.  I sure want to learn though!

 PPP would be a very tough go for installing Linux.  I'm not even sure I'd
want to try it from my cable modem--but the time required on a 56K
connection would be ridiculous.  Go with the CD!
