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.
