Hi I'm thinking about giving redhat 9 a shot. I've been out of the rh world for quite a while--ever since 7.2, which I didn't care for. Since rh9 lacks speakup, what's the easiest way to install it? Should I use a kickstart file or install by telnet? I'm leaning toward kickstart file, as the other computer on my 2-computer network does not have linux on it and I'm not sure how well a windows telnet client with a windows screen reader would work in giving me feedback. It's the family computer and they like that micro$hit. Just want some opinions here. next question: Is there a way that, after creating a kickstart file, I can test it for parse/syntax errors? Is there a program that will do this that I can get ahold of? I'd rather not find out during installation that I messed up and blew my hd partitions away, or made some other stupid mistake. final question: In rh9's kickstart docs it says that speakup and speakup_lt are keyboard map options you can pick from. But rh9 doesn't have speakup. Are these keymaps still available even though speakup isn't, because if they are, I'll set the map that way from the start. If not I'll need the kbd speakup rpm in addition the the kernel rpm for the Athlon which I can grab easily enough. At least I assume that's what the kbd rpm on linux-speakup.org is for. Also, has anyone patched cvs speakup into rh's kernel source, or do I need a clean source?
