install questions

[Chris Schulte]

Well, first of all, in reply to Bill's question, I did use a speakup boot
disk for the install of linux.  Second, I don't know if kudzu is running, I
assume so because it sounds like something that is turned on by default.
Thirdly, the advice I was given here was that Linux was looking for a modem
on com one.  This is probably true because the word at appears on the
braille display.  I am using a braille lite forty and not a braille and
speak.  It is just running with speech on and in speech box mode.  so, I'm
assuming that linux is looking on com one for a modem.  How do I set it up
to see the braille lite, and is it worth it to do now because I don't even
know if I have speakup installed as a part of my kernel.  As I said
previously, I don't think so, because I was using a speakup boot disk, but I
don't know if what you use for a kernel on the boot disk gets installed as
part of the kernel on your hard drive.  Again please help!!  I am definitely
new to this, actually, most of the things discussed on this list are over my
head, but I figure I'll learn someday.
Thanks again:
Chris Schulte
