redhat linux 9 and speakup

[Janina Sajka]

Kickstart installations are detailed in Red Hat's Customization Guide. All the Red Hat guides are available online at:

http://www.redhat.com/support/resources/howto/rhl9.html

These guides are an outstanding source of information about Red Hat, and about Linux in general. You will not exhaust them.

I note there are several new guides released for Red Hat 9, which is a good thing indeed.

Please note that kickstart installations are not covered by the Installation Guide. Consider that a warning that performing a successful kickstart installation is not
trivial, especially for the beginner.
