* newbie's first install @ Jon Dowd ` Janina Sajka ` Alex Snow 0 siblings, 2 replies; 4+ messages in thread From: Jon Dowd @ UTC (permalink / raw) To: Speakup 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 ?

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!
