Wow, OK, it'd be cool if one can do it with a
single machine, as I definitely don't have 3 systems available, one for dhcp,
one for speech, and this one to install to, or don't you need that?

Hi Brent,
Agreed. I am very disappointed that we do
not yet have a Speakup modified distribution set of RH 9 as we did for
versions of RH 7. There is a way to do it through telnet, but you must
have a DHCP server to assign the IP address, etc. I can write a fairly
detailed explanation of how I accomplished the feat, but I'll have to do that
for you over the weekend.
Thanks.

Wow! I guess the 8 bootdisk won't go to http
down 9. The name of the first image it needs is different, i guess, wonder
how I'll get this updated? Sighted assistance is no option.

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.
