Zipspeak does not start talking when I boot it up. Some sort of kernel does seem to load because I can log in as root and successfully run `reboot' (no speech is produced at any time during this process). I am currently using the MS-DOS 6.22 system as a terminal for a Linux box, but I wouldd like to get Zipspeak running on the DOS system for some small projects. Here is the beginning of the LINUX.BAT file I have been using to try to get Zipspeak going: ===============================cut here=============================== @echo off rem ZipSpeak version 8.0 rem Copyright (C) 2001, Saqib Shaikh rem under the terms of the GNU GPL rem Email ss at saqibshaikh.com rem Web site www.saqibshaikh.com rem You must edit the following line to represent your system \loadlin\loadlin \linux\vmlinuz root=/dev/hda1 speakup_synth=acntpc rw ===============================cut here=============================== The hardware here is a 486DX2-66 with 8MB of RAM, monochrome monitor, Accent PC internal speech synthesizer, parallel printer port, serial port, 33.6KBPS FAX MODEM, and a sound card (A4sound, I think). I have been able to get speech working by booting with a full, Speakup version of Slackware and using the swap file included with Zipspeak, but I am not quite ready to wipe DOS out and go to an all Linux system yet. I would like to be able to run a couple of small concurrent jobs, but I need to get this thing talking under Zipslack before I can try running much of anything. Any reasonable suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks. -- Ralph. N6BNO.
