If you get a good install disk from redhat or slackware that's speakup-enabled, and if you read the speakup-install.howto file on the cd and follow instructions, you should by following directions have at least a talking install with either of those systems. Understand, I've installed and reinstalled linux more than once mostly these days because hackers knocked my systems over and I don't do any of it with sighted assistance. The reason for that is my doubletalk lt is talking through those installations. _______________________________________________ Blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list
