When one uses a disk like the wheezy netinstall disk, boots in to the talking kernel by typing lower-case s and then does the installation, does that process just install the sound modules needed for speech by that particular computer? I thought I had a bright idea when I used a fast Dell computer to install wheezy on to a 16-G flash drive that I was then going to copy to a couple of other similar drives via dd and upgrade all my older but still working Linux systems. All these systems ran speakup before but after my attempt, one came up talking but couldn't find its network interface. Another came up mute. Doesn't the boot process scan the system and figure out which audio modules it needs? This is not an end-of world problem. I am just curious as to why this admitted short cut didn't work. Should it have worked? Thanks. Martin McCormick _______________________________________________ Blinux-list mailing list Blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list
