Are you installing RH 7.0 from CDR media? I'm not sure the Speakup Modified floppies for stock Red Hat media will work, though it won't hurt to try. The floppy images on the web site are for RH 7.3.

It was actually straight forward most of the time. The installation went ok a part from the minor problem of KDE loading up at start up. With sighted help I got back into the bash prompt. Still, I prefer Red Hat so tried to uninstall Mandrake. Couldn't find the uninstall option any where so decided to do it threw windows. I used partition magic to delete the partitions and make the c partition bootable again. Thinking that would work I restarted the computer but to my annoyance no luck. I've had to re-install Mandrake so as I can access the ntfs partition. So, now to the question, does any one know how I can successfully uninstall Mandrake without this happening? Oh, I should add that when mandrake was installed it booted straight into it. I found that holding down the escape key bought me into a screen where I could type "nt" to get back into windows. ! This didn't work with Red Hat 7.0. > > I'm not too sure if I'm accurate in this assumption but, would I be right in thinking that the partition that is booted can be changed threw the BIOS? The reason that I ask is I don't hear the hard disc spin when I get into the operating system list. > > Thanks again for al your help > I am sure I'm close to actually getting this system set up on this computer. > > Darragh > -- Janina Sajka, Director Technology Research and Development Governmental Relations Group American Foundation for the Blind (AFB) Email: janina@afb.net Phone: (202) 408-8175 Chair, Accessibility SIG Open Electronic Book Forum (OEBF) http://www.openebook.org
