hmmm, I downloaded the boot.img file from octothorp have have only had limited success. I can get the doubletalk lt to speak, but I don't see a speakup keymap on the list, I assume I need the keymap loaded to enable me to use the review keys. The review keys don't appear to be working correctly using the "US" keymap. I am not using the redhat 7.1 iso from octothorp, i had already downloaded one from a local source. Anyone got any ideas on what I can do? Regards Nick nallan at wdev.net On Tue, 24 Apr 2001, Tommy Moore wrote: > Hey there.
