Firstboot?

Firstboot?

[Ghoston, Ameenah]

Hey everyone,
 
I am quite sure this question has been answered so forgive me for asking it again.  
 
All right, so I have just installed FC3, the most recent ISOS.  I did a personal install. Everything goes fine until firstboot.  I issue the command, reboot, and speakup stops talking in the middle of the boot process.
Is there some known bug that I am unaware of?
 
Thanks in advance!

Hi, see the howto on installing speakup and fc3 it will explain what you
need to do before first boot.

You can find the howto at the same place you got the images with
speakup.

There's an easy fix, Ameenah. Edit your /boot/grub/grub.conf file and
remove the statement that says rhgb=quiet in the line that starts with
the word kernel.

Please note, I am writing from memory, and the exact statement may be
slightly different.

rhgb=quiet is about throwing up a lovely Red Hat graphic so as not to
scare average uswers with all those lovely technical details during
boot. So frightening, I know! <grin>

In fact, your computer is still booting. It's just not talking.
