Hi Keith: No, you haven't done anything wrong. The situation is that the kernel has all speech synth drivers installed and doesn't know which should be used by default, so it needs to be specified. To do this automatically, edit /etc/lilo.conf and look for a line that begins with: append= If there isn't one, make one somewhere before the first line that begins with: image= Now, you want to put the speakup_synth= directive somewhere in the append string. If there's nothing there already, just write it in after the equals sign. If there is, write it in either before or after, ensuring you have a space between parameters. Now, save, run lilo, and reboot. Geoff.
