List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: I made 3 images of the RedHat & Speakup distro, 8.0 . I set the first boot up device on my system as the CD-ROM, and the second as the A-drive. My computer did not notice the first disk image on start up. I thought it would recognize the autorun file. I also made a boot disk, from boot.img. * Question: Can I boot from the boot disk and will this allow me to access the installation CD-ROM? And, will I be able to call up Speakup from the boot disk with the command: text speakup_synth=dectlk Thanks for any help. "Live long and prosper", O.
