Hi Alex,

Yes. As I recall it, there were a couple of fairly detailed
things you had to do without speech on the system you were
installing to. You had to bring up the installation as far as the
first root prompt of the ramdisk system, then you had to edit the
inittab file to change the line that refers to your serial
terminal, and then type "init q" to restart inittab, and if you
did everything right, you got speech and then used the second
computer from then on.

I recall getting all the way through a successful installation
one time and when it said "You may now reboot by pressing
"control, alt, delete" I pressed that key combination on my
second machine instead of the Linux box. Talk about dumb!
