Janusauskas" To: Subject: Installation of Red Hat 5.1 Date: Mon, 29 Jun 1998 00:34:09 -0700 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Priority: 3 X-Mailer: Microsoft Internet Mail 4.70.1161 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit List-Id: Hello list, I am a totally blind individual that just purchased Red Hat Linux version 5.1 on CD. I have read the linux emacspeak howto, and the section that describes in general the concept of using a windows 95 machine with screen reading software installed as a terminal on the serial ort of the linux box to allow a blind user to have speech feedback for the installation process. My question is: Can I do this type of operation with Red Hat's fancy graphical installation program? Can I start it on the linux box and operate it from a terminal on the serial port? I would appretiate any advice on installation as well. I feel that I could learn the most from the experience of installing the system myself if at all possible. That is my primary reason for getting a linux box is to learn about the system and satisfy my growing fascination with what I have read about the wonderful linux o s . Thanks for any help you may be able to offer. -Matthew Janusauskas
