I tried hard to install Slackware 8.0 with kernel 2.2.19. Have an installation cd. To manage boot and root floppy disks was fairly easy by way of rewrite. Installation goes smoothly, I have done it many times. Then the problemstarts. After rebooting , the machine is silent. Seems to be that somehow speakup is lost. I start with loadlin, not lilo, from the DOS patition. I tried both umsdos.gz and color.gz . Only way was to change the kernel 2.2.19(as vmlinuz) to 2.2.16 and next add 3 files: dumpspk, loadspk and speakupconfig. I placed the files into /usr/byn/The files were taken from Zipslack which I have used since August 2000. I also have added some lines into speakupconfig so it is possible to change language. I have no kernel speakup.i in my Isolinux only bare.i etc. Only in bootdsk.144 and tootdsk.12. When tried to put them as vmlinuz loadlin says: setup is very old or wrong. Thank in advance!
