Hi all. Having got a fairly stable desk top system now, I'm thinking of flattening my lap top hard drive and putting Linux on it. I propose to make my own kernel, since the bareapm.I that comes with Slackware has no speakup support. This is no problem, as I can also use one of the root disks. I do, however, have a couple of questions. 1. Has anyone encountered any problems/pitfalls of which I should be aware, either speakup-related, or generally, with installation to a lap top? 2. Quite often, I use my lap top to present some documents with graphics in them to sighted people. I know that I can retrieve the text from such documents with the strings command, but is there anyway I can retain the formatting and graphics in their place? Obviously an accessible method would be preferable, though it is not absolutely essential. Any thoughts on this subject gratefully appreciated. Cheers. -- Toby Fisher Email: toby at g0ucu.freeserve.co.uk Tel.: +44(0)1480 417272 Mobile: +44(0)7974 363239 ICQ: #61744808
