Jim: What's telling linux what speech synthesizer you have? You need to have specified that somewhere if you are going to hear speech. The fact that you did it to get the install started isn't going to be remembered. That command is regarded as temporary. Fortunately, a very similar command should help fix things. Try: vmlinuz speakup_synth=[your.synth.keyword] obviously replacing [your.synth.keyword] with the appropriate designator--ltlk for the litetalk, etc. When do you do this? Quite the same way as with the install--when the boot disk pauses. PS: When you get tired of doing this by hand, we can talk about streamlining it. You really should, it's a lot easier on you. PSS: There's no such thing as a D:> drive in linux. To paraphrase The Borg: "This is not a linux designation."
