redhat speakup installation problem continues.

redhat speakup installation problem continues.

[Nektarios Mallas]

I have sent a message to the list regarding a problem with my installation
with the linux speakup distribution. I should add also that if I select US
as a keyboard type the installation goes on. only when I choose speakup as a
keyboard layout the installation crashes.

Regards.
Nektarios.

Hi:
It could be a good idea to send your message to the Speakup mailing list 
directly. 
Can you try to run your installation from your Hard drive if you keep 
the iso images still on it and see if the installation process is 
behaving in the same way as it is with the cd installation. Just a 
thought.

Thanks, Pawel.

We're not sure yet why the selection of a speakup keymap is
creating the Anaconda error. We are aware of the problem and are
trying to get a handle on it.

Meanwhile, the workaround I've just described in a separate
message does work.

And, if you like, you can also dd the cd rom images to your hard
drive and specify a hard drive install.

The key is to keep the installation cd rom away from Anaconda at
the early stage of keymap selection. It is important to force it
to ask for the location of installation files. Once past this
point, the only installation issue is the ncurses one I also
described.

PS: It is truly an ncurses issue. You will also see it in scripts
such as setup from the installed distribution.
