Redhat 7.0 assistance

[Janina Sajka]

Wow, hold on there and slow down for a minute.

If you're a rookie, what are you doing typing "text expert"?

There is no such command, by the way.

Let's go back to basics. Where did you get the RH 7.0? What media is it 
on? You mention a floppy, but the RH installation comes on 5 CD ROMS. Do 
you also have CD ROMS? Where did you get them?

These questions do matter. We will help you, but we need to start with the 
basics, as I said.

PS: Redhat is now at 7.1 which is significantly better than 7.0. It may 
prove useful to bite the bullet and get a speakup enabled 7.1 for your 
install.
