Hi Jed:
No sir.
Actually the speakup modified Red Hat distribution for which I am
eternally greatful to Bill and Janina for maintaining and making
available to everyone doesn't work the way you've guessed, it's exactly
the opposite.
It is designed such that a blind person can install Red Hat him or herself
without assistance from a sighted person of any kind.
The installation is quite strait forward and Janina has put a great deal
of work into writing a wonderful howto for all to refer too so you will
likely find it very beneficial to read this document before you install
and if you get stuck of course you can always call on Bill who is very
helpful to newbies such as you and I from my experience in corresponding
with im via email and speaking to him on the telephone.
It has been my experience from reading Janina's howto which you can find
on Speakup's web site that it will probably answer many of the questions
you will have, however; if it doesn't answer something of course write to
this list and or blinux-newbie@braille.uwo.ca if you subscribe to that
list as well.
I hope this response is of some assistance and if I may be of more
assistance to you feel free to contact me either directly on list or via
direct email using my address below.
Best regards, good luck, and hope you end up enjoying Linux as much as I
have in the 4 too 5 months I've been exploring and learning.

Hi, Jed:
No, you do not need sighted assistance in many cases. I would go
further and say you almost certainly don't need sighted
assistance if you're dedicating a machine entirely to Linux.
And, if you backup before you start and are very careful, you can
repartition without sighted assistance and get a dual booting
system.
Read the HOWTO on installation for the Speakup Modified Red Hat
Distribution at:
http://www.linux-speakup.org/ftp/disks/redhat/HOWTO_INSTALL.html
PS: This document will be updated later today, so please refresh
your view of it when you see the announcement on this list about
the updating.

HI all. had someone offer to give me a couple of alpha boxes to play with.
I know basically nothing about alpha systems and want to learn. I know
there are linux distros which will run on an alpha box. wonder if I can
compile speakup into any of these from source code?
wonder if the hardware designations are the same like for the serial ports
and such. any got any reading suggestions for an intro to alpha machines
how they work and such.
many thanks.
Brian.

I have one, courtessy of Kirk and Frank's technical assistance.
Mine did talk once, but doesn't at this time.
I would go for it, were I you. What's to lose? They're nice
machines, and if there are more to be had than you want to take,
I'll take one too.
