Hi everyone, I am responding to the same version that Nick Dotson was referring to. Before I installed Fedora version 3, I read the installation that was specifically for version 2. I don't believe the installation how to guide have been updated on the web site. Anyone helping in updating the web site with the latest documentation for installation? ----- Original Message ----- From: "W.

I'm a document reader, as I do Tech Support for a living and have been doing so since 1985... So, here goes the sharing of the pain! I've succeeded at downloading all the disks I think I need from the "linux-speakup.org" site, to the speakup, fedora, discs, current, and downloaded all of the disks and put 'em on CD, and can see the files... The computer I'm wanting to torture with my learning curve is a 500MHz p3 with 1GB RAM, a 20GB drive that's going to belong to Fedora completely, and lots of space for more discs for the fantasy things I think I can do with Linux and want to try to learn to do, both EIDE and SCSI support available. This used to be my MIDI box... (grin) I can pay the cab company $40 for the roundtrip to the computer store, or try to con some UPS driver or mail person to help me change the BIOS for a CD-ROM boot: but I'd rather not! I need precise steps if possible for booting from the CD-ROM from a "dOS prompt when I've exited 98 to MS-DOS, or, some other way of getting the installation started... I have read the Red Hat 9 installation guide, and it refers to running "d:\dosutils\dosboot.bat" but find no "dosutils" folder on any of the discs...
