I had been using a ZipSpeak boot floppy. Do I have to use the umsdos.gz file, since I'm installing to a drive that has a FAT16 File system on it? I don't want to keep it, that's just what it is now. I was reticent to run fdisk.exe from a boot floppy, since MicSoft's fdisk doesn't support a Linux partition. BTW, after whacking enter as you suggested (with that boot floppy made with Rawrite from Zipspeak), I still got a Kernel Panic VFS error; couldn't open root device. I appreciate any help you can give.

Use the speakup disks found on the site, not the boot disk on the cd. _______________________________________________ Speakup mailing list Speakup at braille.uwo.ca http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup
