Ok, I got speach, but it goes for a bit and stops. I do have speech but the strange thing now is it is looking at /deb/hda7 I have no hda7. I have everything on hdb and redhat set this all up itself. Here is what it setup hdb1 is a small partision, not sure what this is hdb2 is the root and largest partision hdb3 is the swap On the boot disk there is a syslinux.cfg file. here is the contants below. default linux prompt 1 display boot.msg timeout 100 label linux kernel vmlinuz append initrd=initrd.img root=/dev/hdb2 Should there be more to install the system I used the following bat file loadlin autoboot\vmlinuz initrd=autoboot\initrd.img text devfs=nomount speakup_synth=ltlk text I noticed the mistake of having to 'text' keywords. don't think that would hurt.
