fedora 2 installation

fedora 2 installation

[Rinaldo]

Hi Friends
I have installed my first Linux product this weekend. Did follow the
instructions in the 'how-to' file 2004 version and do have a few questions.
I did have speech after typing 'text speakup...Apollo' and was not sure
about a few things. At the end could not selt 'firstboot off' but was able
to set 'cubs and kudzu off'.
On repoot I hear now speech and can only get apollo to speak when I type
'modprobe speakup=apollo'.
At the packages 'text..' was marked and I marked 'editors' aswell but did not
get the one I like 'Joe'.
I need some help please if some one can write to me directly at
guelpa@dundeekzn.co.za I will be very greatfull.
I do have another installation but I need to learn how to do it myself.
Best wishes
Rinaldo.

Did you create a new initrd as described in the installation HOWTO?
That's how you avoid needing to login without speech and use modprobe.
Or, to be more precise, it's the best way.

Hello Janina
After retrieving the 'how-to' dated 2 jan 2005 I tried again and was
successfull but can not rember how I did it. If I try 'firstboot off' "no
file or directory...' yet 'the other two did work.
In this last 'how-to' I found the 'beeps' for Grub very helpfulle and had no
problem inserting them.
I had a faulty 'grub.conf' file in my main computer.
I also did use the 'rescue' from my Fedore 2 and was able to repair my
grub.conf file now it is working again and the 'beeps' are a great help.
Regards
Rinaldo.
