list, I've just installed zip speak on my pc, if installing is what you c call it! but when I run the linux batch file everything starts happening, until I do the first login which is just root, but then when I goto setup a new user using add user command it seems to lock up everything. and also happens now when just logging in, and then do nothing. is here a time out in zip speak installation? or is it just the system im using? which is a 466 celleron with 256 mb ram, the drive zip speak is on is fat file system ,dvd, cdrw, and running a dectalk express synth. any helpp appreciated. thanks blinky -------------- next part -------------- --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
