Installing from the Woody Disks -- How?

[Alex Snow]

Hi.
You want to get resc1440.bin, root1440.bin, and drv14-1.bin through 
drv14-5.bin.
Write them all to disk and insert the resc1440 disk. Turn on the box, 
and when it starts to boot from the disk and you get to the prompt 
type ramdisk speakup_synth=xxx and hit enter. speakup should come pu 
talking. Once it boots you'll get a release notes screen. just hit 
enter. the installation will start. One thing That should make life a 
bit easier and prevent anoying issues is to skip the first step that 
remaps your keyboard.
