Download and burn the iso from speakups ftp/debian directory on speakup.org. There is a file in this iso which you have to burn to a blank floppy. According to the docs, once you do this, stick the floppy in the drive, boot up and then you should be able to type speakup_synth=xxx where xxx is your synth name. The fadora installation hoto has the strings for your synth. I'm in the same boat so if this doesn't work for you please post probl3ems. Sean
