Hi. Well, first off you can put Red Hat into a text mode setup by typing something such as. text speakup_synth=synth This will put the installation into text mode, and also tells the kernel to load speakup with a specific synth. Note, to replace synth with the synth name such as: speakup_synth=dectlk for the Dectalk Express. In answer to your question about a monitor it depends on if you plan to configure x windows. I'm looking at Gnome 2 cvs so naturally I had to configure x, and that requires a monitor. However, if you don't install x or don't want to set it up you won't need a monitor. The bash shell works fine with out a monitor. Suggestion here. Plug in a monitor and mouse to configure x windows, reset your computer to run level 3, and then remove them from your system if you want. ----- Original Message ----- From: Darrell Shandrow <nu7i@xxxxxxxxxx> To: <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Saturday, December 01, 2001 7:59 PM Subject: Re: Bootdisk for Redhat 7.2 with Speakup1.0 > Hi Vic, > > OK; I found them, thanks to your good advice...
