Re: Getting from here to there

Thanks to all who've given me advice over the past few days with my almost
together Redhat install. It's been quite an ordeal, and I'm not there yet,
though I've succeeded at all the issues I've posed so far:

*	I can mount and access /DOS (in binary, not text)

*	I rpm'd make onto the system. No errors reported

*	I have the emacspeak 10.0 files, with sub-directories, in
/usr/local/src/emacspeak-10.0 -- all looks OK.

So what's still wrong?

Just a little while ago I tried installing emacspeak per the instructions
in Makefile. It ran, but with many errors. Something, don't remember what,
in the process told me there was no emacs. That was surprising, because I
particularly remember taking care to see it was there during the install
of RH6. 'which emacs' turned up nothing. So, I brought the rpm files over
and tried 'rpm -ivh emacs-20.3-15.i386.rpm' which complained that emacs
20.3 was already installed.

Now I'm really lost. I feel so close, yet obviously not there. typing
emacs doesn't do anything. So, is it installed? How do I know for sure?
Do I need to remove emacs and emacspeak and try again with rpm? How?

To add insult to injury, the redhat site is down just now, and I have to
leave for L.A. early tomorrow. Sadly, that means leaving that trustiest of
screen readers, Friend 1.0, behind here in Maryland.
