-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi Christian. Can you point me in the right direction for Autoyast? That sounds my best bet to get the OS up and running. Sorry, but this is new to= me.

Because of the complexity of YaST2, the installation tool, the screenreader isn't able to focus allways on the important information. We tryed to solve that problems but without changes on YaST2 we aren't able to do anything :-(. Hopefully the next distros are working better during installation. >Or, is there a way I could install using speech? I have a hardware >synthesizer, Apollo II. No. Speechsupport can not be enabled during installation. But even if this would be possible, you'd have the same problems. We recommend to install the system with the default settings leaving every thing in the installer unchanged. Skep even the network installation etc. After setting up the system this way, you could do your changes in the running system, YaST2 will work better on a installed system. If you can't do the installation with the defaults, you could use autoyast to setup your system automaticly. Sorry for the problems, we try our best to solve them in future together with the YaST2 developpers. - -- Gruss / Regards, Christian Schoepplein <[email protected]> SUSE LINUX GmbH - SUSE-Blinux Support WWW: http://www.blinux.suse.de Phone: Germany: 0180 / 500 36 12 (12ct/min) Austria: 0820 / 500 781 (14,5ct/min) Switzerland: 0848 / 860 847 - -- Um sich von der Liste abzumelden schreiben Sie bitte eine Mail an die Adresse, die im Kopf hinter dem List-Unsubscribe-Eintrag zu finden ist.
