It was regardless of whether it was a directory, a file I tried to edit, etc. This even happened when I booted from the emergency boot/root disks. I'm wondering if this is caused by my video card or something. I plugged this same monitor into my Slackware box and speakup behaved normally. I booted up the Debian machine with the Slackware boot/root disks with the monitor plugged in don't eh problem came back. Because of this I don't think it's distro related. As long as I don't' have a monitor on this box everything works fine though. > I personally installed linuxconf because I was already familiar with it > from Redhat.

I looked at linuxconf a while back and had problems installing it so never considered it again but I see it's a Debian package so it should install fine. > The third sounds like something is missing from your dependancies.

Basically what I did was create my own rescue.bin disk with a 500 k personalized kernel that has only the drivers I needed compiled in such as my nic drivers. Other than that since this box is mainly a server box I don't have a modem, sound card, etc in it so all that stuff was taken out. I also don't' have scsi or apm so I took that out of the default config file. I added the latest cvs speakup to it as well. The list of unresolved symbols is pretty long. From what I remember now it has a lot to do with video and sound though. I'll look at my logs and see what they all are. --- Raul A.
