Hello, list. This information goes out to those using Red Hat 6.2 and later.
I have just found a quick and vary easy way to get your new Linux box up and
talking after an install.
I know it works well because I just did it, and it worked like a charm.

Step 1: Install Red Hat to your machine, restart and make sure everything
seams to be working ok, and to see if Lilo boots ok.
Step 2: log in as root, and then insert your Red Hat installation diskette.
Step 3: mount your floppy drive and switch over to the floppy.
Step 4: enter the command
cp vmlinuz /boot
Step 5: Now answer y to the prompt to over right.
Step 6: wait until the floppy stops.
Step 7: enter the command Lilo.
Step 8: after a few seconds enter the command
shutdown -r now.
After a minute your machine should come up talking like a charm.

Why not use the reRedHat talking install.  Bill, in Denver, has spent a lot
of time getting the RedHat install and RPMS set-up for speakup and RedHat.

I see no need to try and confuse the issue here.  If it ain't broke, then
don't break it!

My point exactly, Bill has RPMS to eliminate the need for copying a kernel
over after the fact.  At least, that is how I understood it, based on what
Bill was telling me.  Meaning, that once the install is complete, everything
is up and running, or should I say Talking.

Bill, perhaps, you could clear the muddy water on this one.

Admittedly, I could be wrong, and if so, I apologize for any confusion I may
have caused the list.  On the other hand, if I understood Bill correctly,
the way in which I mentioned, would be a whole lot easier.

I am confused as to what the problem in expanding the kernal again. Given
that this takes all of 2 or 3 minutes if you have a slow processor. If you
wanted to keep the old source, then just use different names for the
cource trees and change the softlink linux to the correct one.

I suppose someone can come up with a much more convoluted means, but I
figure that it is much easier to just follow the directions given.

Nothing is hard if you know the answer or are used to doing it.

Ouch!!!!!  If you do that, you won't be able to load any modules.  I have
some RPM files that you can install.

Hi, Stephen. I guess I didn't specify which boot disk I was using.
I was talking about the talking boot disk.
I used the talking Red hat 7 install to get Red hat 7 on my machine, and
then once the machine was installed I copied the talking Kernel from the
talking setup to /boot, and then ran Lilo.
If you don't like the Kernel you can always recompile a new one which I will
today.
I was just giving some tips. I leave it up to the judgement of the members
of this list to make up there minds weather the info is useful or not.
