Peter, are you looking to install with speech? If so, the question is about where you got the Redhat. If off one of the official mirrors, it doesn't come with speech. If you want a Redhat with speakup already in it, use anonymous ftp to speakup.octothorp.org and download from there. At least goot a boot floppy image to get going--though you really should get the entire disk1 iso image, at least. Of course, you can always compile speakup in after the fact. But, if you need to rely on speech, it's easier to get the speakup enabled Redhat up front. On Thu, 23 Aug 2001, Peter M.
