Hi, sorry for brevity but the answer to your question is no, if your pc supports it along with your cd-rom and or cdrw (why not boot from the rh 7.2 or 7.3 speakup modified media. Of course, if you have a cd-rom and or cdrw that is bootable but your system won't boot from the media you inserted you'll have to go into the cmos setup utility and re-set the boot sequence. And, btw, the installation prcedure if installing from any cd media, whether that media is speakup modified supplied compliments of Bill and Janina, or the geniric unmodified stuff from RH themselves is well-documented in the hot to install document available on speakup's web site so you might find it helpful to read the relevant sections which apply to the questions you asked below or to read it in full. It's kept up to date, well-written, and pretty concise imho as someone who's read it several times and I'd recommend everyone read it once or more if needed before doing their first speakup modified rh 7.x install, I know it's been my experience that the doc is a helpful one. Hth and good luck. On Fri, 16 Aug 2002, ADFM wrote: > I maybe looking in the wrong place. However, I can not find information about installing RedHat 7.3 from CD. > > 1.
