Hi all, I think I have a talking installation set working. The bad news is that it must be booted from CD, not the floppies. There just isn't enough room for Speakup to be compiled into the BOOT kernel, and I can't figure out how to load modules for Speakup during the installation procedure. As is my practice, the disks have all the updates applied. They also have Mario's patch to Newt, so the cursor should be where it says it is during the install. The set can be found at ftp://linux-speakup.org/pub/speakup/disks/redhat/9/ This stuff needs lots of testing. Let me know of any successes or problems. -- Bill in Denver
