Newbie Installing Redhat

[Liz Hare]

>

Hello,

I'm a newbie installing RedHat for the first time, thanks to Janina, who 
provided me with the CDs.

There is a problem with the installation, it gets to one package (Something 
about USB, but unfortunately I didn't write that down) and stops.  It tells 
me to hit enter to try again.  THe problem is that it never works, and it 
doesn't give me any other options, like getting this package and installing 
it later.  I have to abort the installation because all it will let me do 
is try getting this package again.  (I suspect there's a problem with the 
disc, although it also offered the possibility of a bad package.)

I don't have a fast connection so  Ican't download a whole new disk.


What I"m wondering now is, how hard is it really to buy the RedHat CDs, 
install them, and then install Speakup.  The Speakup website says you 
should have some experience playing with the kernel, which I don't have.  I 
realize I will also have to hijack a pair of eyeballs for a few hours.

Liz
