Hi Mark, I am still trying to get RedHat installed as the installation program for RedHat 8.0 does the same double speaking for me, with my dectalk synthesizer. It is impossible to know which choice you have made, and I have to fDisk a hard drive to install Linux, and even the sighted assistance I have used is not totally sure which drive is actually selected. But the strange thing is that when I was using an install program from a previous version of Linux, it spoke just fine with my synthesizer, but I was unable to complete the install, as the install program did not match the ISO's. Perhaps it is the DECtalk synthesizer, and maybe we need to wait for someone to re-compile the install program or the DECtalk portion of SpeakUp. But your start up line seems correct: Here is what works for me: text speakup_synth=dectlk ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mark Rew" <mark.rew@xxxxxxxx> To: <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Friday, December 20, 2002 1:13 PM Subject: correct keyboard selection. Hi group, Which keyboard do I need to select for RedHat version 8? I'm starting SpeakUp with the command: text speakup_synth=DTLK This command causes speakup to speak while I'm installing my Linux. But, I'm finding it difficult to know what menu selection I'm on, and I can not even get into the fields for entering information such as IP address. I tried selecting the "speakup" keyboard. I saw there was another speakup keyboard I think, "speakup lt." The hardware is a Pentium 2 CPU, and a Windows style keyboard. Thanks for any suggestions.
