I got a large part of the way through a manual install on a laptop, fdisk, mkfs.ext3, debootstrap, apt-get kernel, and then I couldn't get grub to work. The error was something about hdc not having a bios something or other. Huh? Who cares about hdc, that's the CD drive. I intend to write an installation script. I'm thinking that it would use a text config file. You edit this config file, then run the script. It would be easy enough to tie that into a curses interface eventually. Besides grub, there are a lot of other things that didn't work. I added wireless-tools but it didn't see my wireless card. I booted my desktop at work and got no speech. Still, I think it's a good first effort. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kirk Reiser" To: "Speakup is a screen review system for Linux."
