Re:redhat and graphical logins

[Thomas Ward]

Hi, the best way for us to install is to choose the custom install option.
That way we can install what we wish and leave behind those applications
that we don't wish. However, don't sell Gnome short, gnopernicus is coming
along pretty well, and someday probably next year we will have access to
Gnome 2.0.

As for obtaining a text login this can be done in two different ways. During
the installation there is a question that has many items on it such as
default desktop graphical desktop, gui or text login, etc. You could check
it there, and you would get a text login.

Another option is if you are loading in x such as if you had installed X
Windows with Gnome you could do a alt+control+f1 to get to a text login,
login to your box, and open /etc/inittab in your favorite text editor, and
set it from run level 5 to run level 3.

 Naturally, if there is no X Windows you will get a run level 3 text login
by default.
Hth.

Re: emacs speak and a normal sound card

[Thomas Ward]

Hi, Emacspeak will work on any soundcard that Linux supports. One quick and
durty way to configure and test your sound system is to run sndconfig and
run through that dialog box. It will attempt to find your sound device play
a wave file, and then a midi file if it finds your midi channel.
For hardware issues it will help to have a list of your hardware on hand
such as make, moddle, and brand. Start a little note book of what kind of
modem you have, what soundcard you have, monitor, and so on. Also flag any
hardware device that says winmodem, or windows anything in it's name. Some
of that trash is designed specifically for the Windows operating system
only.
 Remember we live in a rather bias world where most computer specialists are
ignorant about Linux, and most PC manufacturers won't help you if you put
Linux on your computer. So lists such as this one come in handy, and
learning to take notes is an emence help down the road.
Hth.

Re: emacs speak and a normal sound card

[Sunfire]

if emacs speak comes with redhat 7.3 by default i.e. its already bundeled
with it what would i need to do to get emacs speak running without a sound
card... that way i know how that stuff works... i have a fairly intense log
of my hardware and the only thing that is flagged with win mswin or windows
is the lucent win modem... i have an ethernet card i use for internet and i
do know that it is usable with unix/linux/whatever because the person that
used it before me had it set that way...


anyways tnx for the help
