HI Greg, I'm using windows ME and have no DOS mode as a result. I did make a startup disk, from the control panel and went to it's autoexec.bat file and added the command to call the c:\linux\linux.bat file, but still no good. -Matthew -----Original Message----- From: speakup-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:speakup-admin at braille.uwo.ca]On Behalf Of Gregory Nowak Sent: Tuesday, June 12, 2001 12:13 To: speakup at braille.uwo.ca Subject: Re: Help Getting zipspeak running What I think could be happening to you is that the kernel maybe looking for a parallel port zip drive. Did you try just taking the kernel not the whole bootdisk image, and booting it with loadlin? You can create a startup dos disk, and stick loadlin on that.
