Hi, Krister: Well, you've got the approach down correctly. But, there are two problems: 1.) The Apollo driver is not spelled correctly in the Speakup patches. You need to call it with one 'l,' and not two. I think this should have been fixed long ago, but it doesn't yet seem to be fixed. 2.) You need to have an Apollo driver to call in the initrd file on the floppy. Odds are you don't. It would be a little tricky for a new user to type the commands to create the initrd correctly without feedback. My advice is to let Bill Acker help you by phone like he offered.
