Hi All, I'm running into a problem installing the RH 8.0 with speakup. I started the install at the prompt with text speakup_synth=ltlk I have the lite Talk external synth so this is the keyword I needed to use. I get speach all through the boot process, but once that finishes talking, I get nothing else. I had my wife check the screen and it shows a blue background about two thirds of the way down the screen with black below it. I have noting else on the scren. At this point it appears to lockup and I can go nowwhere except to shut off the computer and try again with the same results. I read the howto and the instructions to use from section 4 down for a new install, but no help with this problem. Any help appreciated Ron -- Ron Marriage Home Page http://www.seidata.com/~marriage/ Blind Links http://www.seidata.com/~marriage/rblind.html Linux http://www.seidata.com/~seilug/ Email mailto:marriage at seidata.com
