Hey Jim: Thanks for the note on Bill being the person who built the redhat installation disks. I plan to upgrade my home machine from 6.0 to 6.2 this weekend by using speakup. (Can't wait)! Actually, I am a senior systems analyst for Williams Communications group (wcg). I primarily design and take care of large sun clusters running solaris. We have some AIX and hpux equipment as well. Like you, I would not even consider installing redhat via ppp. Terry -----Original Message----- From: Jim Wantz [mailto:jwantz@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, June 28, 2000 2:55 PM To: 'speakup at braille.uwo.ca' Subject: RE: Hello all Hi Terry, And I thought I'd been around UNIX for a long time, my first exposure was with SUN/OS around 1992. By the way, Bill Acker is the ultimate authority on which disk names are what, because he built the Redhat ones. Though I've been programming in C since about the mid 80s, I know nothing about kernel hacking or drivers. I sure want to learn though! PPP would be a very tough go for installing Linux. I'm not even sure I'd want to try it from my cable modem--but the time required on a 56K connection would be ridiculous. Go with the CD!
