Ok Gordon, I suggest starting from scratch on your problem: First of all, you have two options. If you're a total newbie then I will provide ZipSpeak, which is a zip file of Linux that you can put on a DOS/Windows partition and try it out with Speakup. Alternately, you can install SuSE with sighted help. After this you can install either Emacspeak or Speakup or SuSE-BLinux. If I remember correctly you are using the Apollo synthesiser. If this is the case then I'm pretty sure SuSE-BLinux supports it, though you have to specify it once you've installed the OS. Contact me off-list if you need more info on Emacspeak. If you find installing a new kernel a bit hard right now, I suggest the following which may or may not work: Get the speakup.i boot disk from the Slackware site. Insert it and at the prompt type something like: linux speakup_synth=apolo root=/dev/whatever this may or may not work. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
