-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: RIPEMD160 Hi speakup, Ok, thanks to Janina, i was able to actually turn off first boot and get into a console, however, i couldn't start Speakup. My suspicion is that i've downloaded and installed the wrong cd set. I went to fedora.redhat.com and downloaded their images and there's no speakup on those? so should i download the speakup cd's from linux-speakup .org and reinstall using the boot-orig.iso provided there? Feeling somewhat foolish... - -- /Krister mailto:crisekstrom at bredband.net Get pgp keys here: mailto:crisekstrom at bredband.net?subject=get_pgp_keys -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2-nr2 (Windows XP) iD8DBQE/r9OpODlJeoMTOQsRA9K3AKDyaFjbB8nyruXim3Tux+BwOuYdIgCfYPsp edcag0bLZnvC9RSv4uxw5HU= =s5GX -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
