This is a little disjointed but here it goes, On the fadora howto, they tell you to boot the iso with "text speakup_synth=synthname Is text a boot paramater or a fadora thing? When I loaded the smart boot manager so I could boot from the sarge iso, apparently it came up with some kind of graphical interface that neither me nor my console familear co-worker was familear with and he wasn't sure where to put in the boot parameter. Does anyone know how to use this boot manager or where to find documentation for it?Sinse my co-worker helped me boot this system I don't really know how to get this to work on my own I'm not sure if once you stick the floppy in with the boot manager you have to select where to boot from or if you can suddenly choose parameters. thanks Sean
