Re: Installation of Redhat without a sighted assistance

["L. C. Robinson" <lcr cyberhighway net>]

Well, I've been reading the kickstart documentation and HOWTO, and
it looks like preparing a kickstart config file for updates is
trivial, for an experienced user.  In fact, I started wondering if
it wouldn't be easier to update this way than from the menus, even
for sighted users.  BTW, the kickstart method provides augmented
capabilities not available otherwise, that might be used to save
work.  Enjoy.

People buy MicroShaft for compatibility, but get incompatibility and
instability instead.  This is award winning "innovation".  Find
