Hello, list. I just recieved my Red Hat 8.0 boxed set in the mail today, and much to my surprise speakup is not working. I wrote the boot.img file to the floppy, restarted and typed the usual text speakup_synth=dectlk Then, pressed enter. Nothing happened. The floppy booted an there was absolutely mno speech. What is wrong here? I was under the understanding Red Hat comes with speakup, and this one sure doesn't act like it. Can anyone render an explaination, and what to try next? My system is not configured to boot from the rom, and I'm not at all sure what to do at the moment. Is speakup only usible from the rom?
