I'll step up to the plate (maybe a bit sheepishly) <smile> I've been around linux for a few years now, though new to Speakup. I can begin getting things together and with some help from the "experts" I can put some stuff together to make as painless as possible for people venturing into the use of Linux and Speakup. On the loadkeys thing, I think the kernel would have compiled fine without it but when Speakup is in the mix, the script that uses loadkeys to plug in the new key map blew. I don't recall what linux/README said about key mapping right off the top of my head. If you like, I can take a look there and see if INSTALLATION should speak a bit more clearly on this subject. If I go ahead and take on some of the doc challenge, I will have plenty of questions especially if things differ between distributions as all of my linux experience has been with Slackware. -----Original Message----- From: Kirk Reiser [mailto:kirk@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, January 25, 2001 7:52 AM To: speakup at braille.uwo.ca Subject: Re: Installation Comments Hi Steve: I appreciate your ideas on what should be in the installation documentation. We don't have an official documentation person as of yet. Anyone wishing to volunteer or develop a group to do documentation would be welcome. On the loadkeys issue though, the linux/README is required reading which is outlined in the installation document. It's job is to tell folks what all they will need to be able to compile a kernel.
