This doesn't make sense, but I suspect you're speaking of the Speakup Modified Red Hat Distribution. If not, don't bother with the rest of this message. There is a problem booting from CD ROM with the latest version of the Speakup Modified Red Hat Distribution. This problem is known and has been discussed at length on the Speakup list about a week ago. A fix is in the works. Meanwhile, there are a couple of workarounds: 1.) If you can boot from a floppy, do so but be sure to not let the system see the CD ROM as you boot. Keep it out of your drive, or just keep the drive open until prompted to indicate what media contains the boot images. 2.) Create a bootable CD ROM with nothing on it except the floppy boot image from the images directory. Boot with this disk, and swap to the first installation CD ROM when prompted as above. 3.) First create three iso files on your hard disk using dd, one for each of the CD ROMs. Then boot with either a floppy or a bootable CD ROM as described above, and point the installer to the appropriate drive partition and directory when prompted.
