I posted this 4 hours ago and haven't got my original message back much less a reply so I'll try posting again. I'm new so this is a little basic I'm afraid. I downloaded Red hat 7.1 from a mirror server. I created the CD's. I downloaded the boot disk for dec-talk express for red hat 7.0 as this was the latest on the site. When I boot my machine and type text, it boots but there is silence. My dec-talk is connected to com1. The only explanation I can think of is that I am trying to install 7.1, therefore I might have the wrong kernel. I could use a little help in finding out what I'm doing wrong or how I get the right kernel. I know the machine is booting up in text mode as I had my sighted wife take a look.
