Well, I tried interupting the speech during the boot messages, and still locked at login. I noticed someone a few posts back said they thought the kernel had to be called vmlinuz for zipspeak... mine is vmlinuz.spk am I just grasping at straws at this point? Maybe Jacob will compile another kernel for me with the DecTalk 0.05 drivers that Kirk Ricer sent me... I'm just anxious to get linux running so I can dive in and start learning. -Matt -----Original Message----- From: speakup-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:speakup-admin at braille.uwo.ca]On Behalf Of Matthew Janusauskas Sent: Sunday, May 28, 2000 20:20 To: speakup at braille.uwo.ca Subject: RE: speakup w/dectalk express.

Matt, you have to shut up the speech after it starts or it'll not work and lock up because the speech synth is continuously talking. Thanks. shut it off with the alt key or controll if you're using a laptop. _______________________________________________ Speakup mailing list Speakup at braille.uwo.ca http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup _______________________________________________ Speakup mailing list Speakup at braille.uwo.ca http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup
