I've never done a networkless install, but if you go to the link I supplied below, one of the handbooks there is for doing this and should point you the right direction. Let me know if you have any questions. On Sat, Aug 04, 2007 at 11:30:26AM +1200, Marcel Oats wrote: > Hi, are you saying that they have dropped speakup from the normal > distribution?
