List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Hi, John: I have two tips for you: 1.) 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! Good luck!
