Hi Tommy: Basically, I took a boot disk image and dd'd it to a floppy. Then, I mounted it under /mnt. I replaced the kernel on the floppy with the appropriate kernel image for Speakup and ran the following commands on it: rdev /mnt/vmlinuz /dev/fd0 ramsize /mnt/vmlinuz 49152 rootflags /mnt/vmlinuz 0 Then, I had to copy the lilo.conf file on the floppy to a file I called bdlilo.conf and run lilo using it as follows (I made sure my working directory was /mnt before I did this): cp /mnt/etc/lilo.conf /mnt/bdlilo.conf lilo -v -C bdlilo.conf -r /mnt rm bdlilo.conf Don't know why I had to do that, but, it seemed to work best for some reason. Seems like I had problems when trying to run lilo specifying etc/lilo.conf. I also had to move some files from the disk to make room for some operations--these disks are tight! I then moved the files back. After all this, I unmounted the floppy and dd'd it back to a file. Hope this helps. On Mon, 19 Jun 2000, Tommy Moore wrote: > Hey Joe.
