Hi list, I am just about to do an install of Debian on a spair computer, and have downloaded the woody disks from the speakup archive to do this install with. I wrote the images out to floppy as per usual using: dd if=resc1440. bin of=/dev/fd0 bs=512 conv=sync and have booted from the rescue / root floppy. I am using an external doubletalk synth which is on ttyS0. The synth didn't come up at all when I booted the system, and sighted assistance confirms that I am actually on the installation menu, so the system appears to be booting correctly. Do I have to give the kernel any instruction at the boot prompt to tell it what synth I am using and what port it is on? I looked through the readme.txt file in the same folder as the install disks but could find no mention of this. Any hints appreciated :).
