Hi If you've compiled ppp and slip into your new kernel, or you don't require them, you can amend the /etc/rc.d/rc.modules file. Simply insert a "?" symbol in front of the slip and ppp lines, they are clearly marked with an introductory line, so you can search for "ppp" with your favourite editor. and make your amendments. As for the sound, I too have SB Live, but couldn't get it to work properly either. The guys on the reflector advised me to use the alsa drivers, which seem to be a lot better. Perhaps, someone more experienced can explain the difference and why we can't get the emu10k1 driver to work without being a part of the alsa package.

Everything works fine, and I'm able to boot and login and everything is normal. However, I noticed that as the system boots, the kernel reports that it's missing the slip, ppp, and some other modules (my nic's among them). Also, i have built the support for my sblive card directly into the kernel. At boot up, the driver finds the card, reports its model, version, irq, base i-o and all that good stuff. However, when I do 'play ' wave file, it says that slash dev slash dsp is not found. What's wrong? Should I hear some sound from linux on boot up like you do in windblows? Also, now that I have USB scanner support, I remember reading something on the list about a command-line OCR program. What is it called, is it accurate (compared to openbook ruby for windblows), how can I get it, and how much is it? Come to think of it, I think it was referred to as ocrshop, but I'm not sure. Thanks in advance for any help. Greg P.S. Sorry about typing out the slashes, but I'm writing this on a braille note, and it doesn't let you switch to computer braille in the middle of a message. p.s.2 About that hpt 366 controller on my mother board that I mentioned in a post a while back ... I compiled ata 66 support into the kernel, and it still doesn't see either of the controllers or the hd attached to one of them. _______________________________________________ Speakup mailing list Speakup at braille.uwo.ca http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup
