Unfortunately, I've never done it that way but I'm sure that it's a possibility for you. There must be a howto on that method of installation. -----Original Message----- From: speakup-admin@braille.uwo.ca [mailto:speakup-admin@braille.uwo.ca]On Behalf Of Rodney Sent: 21 November 2001 20:44 To: speakup@braille.uwo.ca Subject: Getting Started Well I am a serious newby when it comes to Linux.
