newbie's first install

newbie's first install

[Jon Dowd]

Dear List,

I am going to attempt an install for a friend this Sunday; I have some
experience with installing Linux (RedHat, Mandrake) but mostly following
their installation menus and accepting default suggestions without too much
configuration experience.

I have downloaded and burnt RedHat 7.3 spk onto two CDs and installed it on
a test box and it seems to install OK.


My Friend has purchased a "DoubleTalk LT" synthesizer and I am seeking
assistance and pointers.

Where shall we begin ?

Thanks,

Hi, John:

I have two tips for you:

1.)	Get the HOWTO document at:


http://www.linux-speakup.org/ftp/disks/redhat/HOWTO_INSTALL.html

2.)	If you can keep a second computer online, write to this
list as issues arise. I'm sure you'll get answers quickly.

Actually, I'll bet you can also find real, live, human tech
support by telephone if you follow the advice in the HOWTO, too!
<grin>

Good luck!
