Hello,

I have read:

<A HREF="http://www.linux-speakup.org/ftp/disks/redhat/HOWTO_INSTALL.html">HOW to Install Red Hat 8.0 Using Speakup</A>

I have purchased a box set of Red Hat 8.0.

I have download the rawwrite program.

I need to create a boot diskette, because I can not use my cd-rom to boot from.

Where can I find the disk image (s),that are for a Dec Talk Express ?

Thanks,

You can proaly find them on the speakup ftp site in the redhat directory. Or if they're not there you can find them on ftp.redhat.com or one of it's mirrors.
Note that this is coming from a slackware user so excuse any inaccurisies...

as of speakup 1.0, you could specify the synth of your choice at the
boot prompt.
if I remember correctly and bare with me and please correct me if I go
wrong as I ain't used red hat 8.0 for a few months,
the images are in, your cdrom drive:\images
and the file u want is called boot.img
use the rawrite utility to write that to a floppy
and at the syslinux prompt after you reboot with flooy in the drive,
issue the following.
text linux speakup_synth=decext
hth and please correct me if I screwed up.

AlexaSnow irfiles are DOS and Windows executables that you can use to
create an installation boot floppy for installing the Speakup Modified
Red Hat distribution. The rawrite executables are not particular to any
synthesizer. It is important to follow the very specific instructions
for using rawrite particularly if you're using DOS when creating the
boot floppies for your installation of Linux.
Also, please look for hyperlinks both to the Windows rawrite, and to the
DOS rawrite in our HOWTO document. They will take you directly to the
downloadable executable.

And, yes, Alex is correct that these are available via ftp on the
Speakup site as well.
