Subject: upgrading from rh 8.0 to 9 with
speech, and gnopernicus
Is it OK to use my rh 8.0 network boot installer disk to
upgrade to 9.0, so I have speech through the process? I understand I have to
install the kernel RPM to have speakup, but I don't have another system to do
it by telnet. (I hope to be getting a Pac Mate soon, as state rehab purchased
one for me, as I decided that I thought it's better than the braille note
because of connectivity, and that you can use audible.com and other Pocket PC
apps that the bn doesn't allow for. Does it have an accessible telnet client
so I could pull the install off that way, or should I just use the rh 8.0
bootnet.img and point the http to the appropriate directory for 9 on redhat's
server? I may give it a try anyways, sort of updated some gnu stuff manually
to attempt gnopernicus, but am having trouble with glib and gtk and autoconf
and cspi, and other stuff like that. What would I need to do to 9 to prepare
for gnopernicus to install? I have the script someone sent, errors out on 8.0,
think I need to ad the all important
#!/bin/sh
line to the top, but the compiles error out on
8.0, choking on autoconf not being the right version when trying to compile
gtk or glib, since gnopernicus needs a later lib than 8.0
provides.
Thanks.
