Janina, Sorry too, but that didn't work. Looking at the /etc/hosts.allow file I see that I did carry out the instructions you gave earlier. However, the only way I can get into this machine with ssh is to stop iptables. Fortunately, my LAN is behind a firewall. I'll have to see how good it is. I'm thinking seriously of downloading the CF2 disks from Speakup, but I'm a bit concerned about the download tioe. Is there anything like Debian's jigdo? Will I have to make floppies to use brltty during the installation? Thanks, John On Sun, 10 Oct 2004, Janina Sajka wrote: > John J. Boyer writes: > > Cheryl, > > > > I think I'll wait for fc3.
