Redhat Enterprise question

Redhat Enterprise question

[Linux for blind general discussion]

Hi

Is Redhat Enterprise installable without sighted help?  Most especially a 
server version.  If so what is the method for doing so?

Thanks

I Am afraid, that Redhad do not support installation of their enterprise 
product for now.
But visually impaired users and developers have to be very atient. And 
in some cases, ve are being forced to find new solutions.
Try to use virtualisation software in combination with OCR engine, which 
will allow you to recognize installers screens. Problem is, if kernel 
and other components are made by The way that screen readers can not 
access text and other information, even installed operating system would 
be unusable for you. There are several screen readers for console 
environment for Linux distros. Including Sbl, Fenrir, Speakup.
The main question is, if architecture of Redhad enterprise Linux allow 
screen readers users to use their operating system.
Thanks to build in security restrictions.

As far as I know, Red Hat Enterprise should still be installable over 
either telnet or ssh. If not, a kickstart file should be capable of 
performing a completely automated install.

Bill Acker tried on several occasions to compile a RHEL kernel with
Speakup and never succeeded. Of course, this is now some time ago, but
I've not heard of anyone ever getting RHL to speak in the console.

This also goes for Centos.

Fedora and RHEL don't support installation over ssh, last I looked.

Kickstart would work.
