redhat 7 with speakup question

[Nick Gawronski]

Hi, I was wondering if there will be a boot disc that can be used to
install redhat 7 over the internet as when getting the DVD of 6 after
installing there were so many upgraded packages it was just like
reinstalling an entire new system all over again after I had just
installed off the DVD.  I see the importants of also having the DVD for
those of us who might not upgrade the first thing after installation but
for those of us who want the most latest versions of the packages it might
e better to also have a net installation as is with debian.  Will this be
done as well as a DVD version?

You mean to start Speakup for speech during the installation? Yes, eventually. But don't expect that this week.

Hi, I am talking about like fedora core 6 does, allow me to boot into the 
installation image but instead of installation from the DVD it downloads 
everything from the internet and installs it that way after partitioning and 
everything else.  I am using an external dectalk express I am not sure if me 
and you are talking about the same thing.

Hi, With debian how do you choose what version to install?  I would also
like to know is there such a thing as a network installation for redhat?On

On Fedora there is just the one collection of installation pieces. How
much of it you do, or do not install, is something you decide during the
installation. Accessing an on line repository during installation to
retrieve newer rpms is a new and delicious feature supported in Fedora.

If we figure out how to enable it, we will certainly enable it. Or,
perhaps I should say, "When we figure out how to enable it, we'll enable
it."
