Hi, Stephen. I guess I didn't specify which boot disk I was using. I was talking about the talking boot disk. I used the talking Red hat 7 install to get Red hat 7 on my machine, and then once the machine was installed I copied the talking Kernel from the talking setup to /boot, and then ran Lilo. If you don't like the Kernel you can always recompile a new one which I will today. I was just giving some tips. I leave it up to the judgement of the members of this list to make up there minds weather the info is useful or not. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Stephen Dawes" <sdawes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Tuesday, February 06, 2001 9:35 AM Subject: RE: Instructions for installing Kernels. > Why not use the reRedHat talking install.
