Bootdisk for Redhat 7.2 with Speakup1.0

[Thomas Ward]

Hi. Well, first off you can put
Red Hat into a text mode setup by typing something such as.

text speakup_synth=synth

This will put the installation into text mode, and also tells the kernel to
load speakup with a specific synth. Note, to replace synth with the synth
name such as:

speakup_synth=dectlk

for the Dectalk Express.
In answer to your question about a monitor it depends on if you plan to
configure x windows. I'm looking at Gnome 2 cvs so naturally I had to
configure x, and that requires a monitor.
However, if you don't install x or don't want to set it up you won't need a
monitor. The bash shell works fine with out a monitor.
Suggestion here. Plug in a monitor and mouse to configure x windows,  reset
your computer to run level 3, and then remove them from your system if you
want.
