Hello, I am attempting to install Redhat 6.1 via a serial port, using text mode (I am totally blind which is why I want to do this). Looking through the various Redhat documentation there seems to be very little pertaining to serial port based installations. As best as I can figure, the following needs to be typed at the boot prompt: text serial expert I have tried various variations of htis with no feedback on the serial terminal (which happens to be a second PC running speech software). The terminal is connected to ttyS0 on the soon-to-be Redhat system, and the terinal is set to 9600,8,n,1. I know all is well with the terminal and its connection because I use it on the same machine with other Linux systems on other hard drives just fine. I have tried the regular boot.img as well as one in the `updates' directory on the FTP site. Any help on getting this to work is *greatly appreciated*. Thank You, Ivan Fetch. -- To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject.
