Hi,
Toshiba, and, I believe Twinhead machines, will let you press the C
key at the beginning of the boot sequence. The easiest thing to do is to
hold down the C key until the system beeps. then enter the text
speakup_synth=<synth> command as usual.
Red Hat 9 is the last release under the Red Hat Linux name, but the
current version is called Fedora Core 1. You can, and should, download it
at:
ftp://linux-speakup.org/pub/speakup/disks/fedora/1/
HTH.

When I boot up my laptop with CD 1 in the CD-ROM drive, the CD spins up, but as far as I can ascertain the Linux boot screen does not appear. Instead, my computer boots right up into Windows. My guess is that the BIOS needs to be set, but I'm not entirely certain if this is the case. If anyone has any thoughts, I'd appreciate them.
