2.2R6 Speakup ISO

[Kenny Hitt]

Hi.  I think there is some confusion.  Are you trying to install Debian
or Redhat?  My responses ar talking about Debian but Janina' is talking
about Redhat.

The latest kernel officially supported by potato is 2.2.20.  I am
working on boot floppies for Woody, but there not ready yet.  Woody
still hasn't been released yet, so any iso images are unofficial.
You can upgrade from potato to woody with potato images during the
install.
There is a program to create floppies under Windows.  I believe it is
called winwrite.  If you want, I'll try to find it and send it to you.
