Hello Erik and all, Thanks for your message. Yes, I have seen the messages about installing Fedora via Telnet, that is definitely an option to consider. As I am using this laptop for work and school purposes, I may need to use the Dectalk express with Speakup as well as speakup using software, this is all an experiment so far, I haven't really figured everything out yet. I just wanted some input while I play with things and try to make them work.<smile> Thanks, Beth Erik Heil wrote: > Hello, > As far as installing Fedora 6 remotely, you can do so using telnet. i.e. > if you have access to another Windows box (better yet, a Linux box) you > can do so via telnet.
