Hello, My name is Reinhard Stebner.  Here is what I am trying to do.  I am
installing Linux on a system that will only run Linux.  My question is this,
should I setup the main Linux partition first or the swap?

I only have about 800 megabytes on the system, and I want to install
slackware to be a server for my dorm room.  Linux will be the machine the is
hooked up to the wall, and all of my other computers will be hooked up to
it.  My first question is this, knowing I only have 800 meg of disk space,
what packages are required and witch ones can be throun out.  Thank you for
your help.

Next question, will speakup be available with braille display support?  Is
there a braille display program that can be run on a users account?  If so,
is there a autoexec.bat type of program that will allow boot up
instructions?

also, can I have both a modem and network card on the same machine?
