-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: RIPEMD160 Hi All, I'm at just about the same point as Al in his letter quoted below, so would also be greatful for any info on this, Bill. I assume i'll have to do a InitRd with the speakup parameters on them, but i can for the life of me not remember the syntax for this. I'm also in a dual boot environment with Windows XP and Fedora core and have Grub as my boot loader. Any info on this would be greatly appreciated. /K On 21 Nov 2003 23:27:32 (my local time 22 nov 2003 05:27:32), you typed:: AP> Hi Bill, AP> Thanks as always for your very prompt response. AP> I downloaded the isos last evening from ftp://linux-speakup.org, but AP> something is very strange. So far, I am noticing the following problems: AP> 1. The issue I mensioned earlier about not being able to install from isos AP> on the HD. AP> 2. it seems like the Speakup kernel is either not being installed, or the AP> speakup_synth parameter is not being passed to the kernel. AP> I know that at least disk 1 is correct because when I boot it and do text AP> speakup_synth=ltlk, the installer comes up talking. AP> I am selecting grub as my boot loader, and it looks like the installer is AP> configuring grub to pass the speakup_synth=ltlk parameter at boot time; AP> However, once the install finishes and the system reboots, I have no speech. AP> I have even tried to pass the parameter manually, but I am not as familiar AP> with grub so am not sure if I'm doing it correctly. the syntax i have used AP> is "a speakup_synth=ltlk". AP> I appreciate your offer of assistance via phone and will gladly take you up AP> on it if I can't resolve this soon. What times are convenient for you to AP> receive calls? AP> Thanks again, AP> _______________________________________________ AP> Speakup mailing list AP> Speakup at braille.uwo.ca AP> http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup - -- /Krister 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/v1G/ODlJeoMTOQsRA+9UAKDpjgXvRjH6yxe3vo3DPOl4NSitcACghR9x 0vnfqerdEh3LrOEeAKrvrHc= =qXXH -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
