Hi, Richard: To learn what Redhat image does what, look at the yet unlinked installation howto at: http://www.linux-speakup.org/ftp/disks/redhat/HOWTO_INSTALL.html The explanation of each of the 5 CDR images is in there. As for csh and tcsh -- I haven't used them since the days of shell-based netcom. And, that's been a few years! <grin> Point of fact, though, one can always jump back and forth as much as one wishes. Simply type bash or tcsh or zsh (for that matter) to change shells on the fly. You set your personal default in /etc/passwd On Sat, 2 Feb 2002, Richard Wells wrote: > Hi janina! You and Kirk gave me the answers I needed. Thank you very much for your complete explanation of how these configurations are handled by bash. Most of my Linux/Unix to this point has been on the shell side on Solaris but never on the system administrator or root side. I am playing with Slackware now but I may be switching to Redhat soon. I got five C images from the Speakup site. My main concern now is to know which one does which job. > > While we're on the subject of bash and such, how do you feel about csh and tcsh? Some have told me that they are more powerful than bash. I would be interested in hearing pro and con on this from this group. > > Thanks > > > _________________________________________________________ > Do You Yahoo!? > Get your free @yahoo.com address at http://mail.yahoo.com > > > _______________________________________________ > Speakup mailing list > Speakup at braille.uwo.ca > http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup > -- Janina Sajka, Director Technology Research and Development Governmental Relations Group American Foundation for the Blind (AFB) Email: janina at afb.net Phone: (202) 408-8175 Chair, Accessibility SIG Open Electronic Book Forum (OEBF) http://www.openebook.org
