Hi, Richard: The floppy disk images are on the first CDR in the 5 disk Redhat 7.1 set that you got from us at ACB in Des Moines last week. The README file explains the basics. But here they are anyway: The directory called images contains floppy disk images. Which one you need depends on how you will be doing the installation. For example, you'll need the pcmcia.img if you will be installing over a network connection. Yes, you can do that if your target machine doesn't have a CD ROM, but does have ethernet--and another computer you have does have a CD ROM. Most often, boot.img is all you will need; 2.) There is a directory called dosutils. Inside there is an executable for DOS called rawrite.exe. Use it to create the floppy disk. It will prompt you for the source image file (boot.img, for example), and your target device (A for A:>, for example); WARNING: Turn off your screen reader before pressing enter on the target device. It truly can mess up the creation of the floppy image. Once you create the floppy, the old instructions pertain. Monitor disk activity for the pause that doesn't talk. Just like with the CDR, this is where you need to type: text speakup_synth=XXXX where XXXX stands for your synthesizer a la the appropriate speakup keyword -- dtlk for the Doubletalk internal, dectlk for the DEC Talk Express, ltlk for the external Doubletalk/Litetalk, etc., etc. PS: It's in fact this same image in the images directory that the bootable cdrom uses to start the installation process. Nifty, huh?
