Buddy:

This is not correct for the Speakup Modofied Red Hat
Distribution. Three CD ROM images are required for the
installation. 

PS: You can certainly download only a floppy boot image in
order to use the stock Red Hat CD ROM set that you can buy from 
Red Hat or at many computer stores. hOWEVER, THERE ARE ISSUES
WITH THIS APPROACH WHICH OUR howto HAS BEGUN ADDRESSING. tHE
NEXT REVISION OF THE howto WILL ATTEMPT TO CLARIFY THIS
APPROACH. wE ARE MOST CERTAINLY AWARE THAT THREE cder IMAGES IS 
BURDENSOME TO MANY PEOPLE, AND WE'RE WORKING TO MAKE OUR howto
EXPLAIN THIS PROCESS AS WELL AS IT EXPLAINS INSTALLING FROM THE 
IMAGES ON THE sPEAKUP WEB SITE.
