<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I downloaded Red hat 7.1 from a mirror
server. I created the CD's. I downloaded the boot disk for dec-talk
express for red hat 7.0 as this was the latest on the site. When I boot my
machine and type text, it boots but there is silence. My dec-talk is
connected to com1. The only explanation I can think of is that I am trying
to install 7.1, therefore I might have the wrong kernel. I could use a
little help in finding out what I'm doing wrong or how I get the right
kernel. I know the machine is booting up in text mode as I had my sighted
wife take a look.</FONT></DIV>
