Hi, everyone: I've downloaded boot.img from the RedHat 7.1 directory in speakup.octothorp.org because I want to upgrade my system from RedHat 7.0 to 7.1. I currently have speakup running through a DoubleTalk LT synthesizer. After creating the boot disk, when I reboot from diskette, I type "text" at the boot prompt, but the DoubleTalk will not speak. If, on the other hand, I create a boot from ltlkb.bin from the linux-speakup.org FTP site, it DOES talk during the boot. Am I missing something in terms of using the 7.1 boot disk? Thanks, as always, for any help. -- Pete De Vasto Unix Systems Administrator Phone: 650-621-8582 Incyte Genomics, Inc.
