Installing From Boot Disk

[Pete De Vasto]

Hi again, everyone:

Thanks to all who replied.  Bill, I'm downloading everything from your
redhat-7.0 directory as I write this.  One of my co-admins is coming by
later this morning to help me get my system back up onto our network.  Once
that's done, I'll tackle upgrading the kernel to 2.2.17.  I will most likely
want to give you a call because I really haven't, as yet, had too much
experience with kernels.

Thanks again, and I'm looking forward to working with speakup.  As I begin
using it, I'll be more than happy to share my experiences and/or
suggestions.  Looking forward to working with you all.

Pete De Vasto
