Hi,

I am unable to boot from CD, and thus would need to use a boot disk. Will my
external Dec express work if I was to use the boot.img that is located on
redhat disk 1?

Thanks in advance

Regards

Mo.

Rich:

If you're able to download the iso images at
ftp://speakup.octothorp.org, you'll be ahead of the game. Bill Acker has
patched speakup into the current Redhat install very nicely. You'll get
a fully accessible install--well except for the first prompt where there
is no speech and you have to indicate your synthesizer. But after that
prompt, the install is accessible and the speech is built in. It's by
far the easiest coarse. I heartily recommend it.
