MessageHi Well some folks have installed and operate Linux over a serial port so that might get you started. Unfortunately, I've never done it that way but I'm sure that it's a possibility for you. There must be a howto on that method of installation. -----Original Message----- From: speakup-admin at braille.uwo.ca [mailto:speakup-admin at braille.uwo.ca]On Behalf Of Rodney Sent: 21 November 2001 20:44 To: speakup at braille.uwo.ca Subject: Getting Started Well I am a serious newby when it comes to Linux. I have a donor computer (Pentium 166), it has a network and sound card. On my other computers I use Windows 98 SE with JAWS (Eloquence) and a sound card. I don't own any hardware synthesizers yet. I am familiar with partitioning and formatting hard drives. I am not afraid of working with the hardware. My research on the internet tells me that I need to purchase a hardware synthesizer for the donor computer before I attempt to install Linux on it. Also I am not currently familiar with compiling kernels. However, I am a computer professional (developer) so I should be able to pick it up. I'll stop my rambling now and hope someone can point me in the right direction. My goal is to create a low cost web server for development and production work. So far I heard that Speak Up may be the way to go. Thanks. Rodney -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
