-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: RIPEMD160 Hi Thomas, On 20 Mar 2004 14:20:09 (my local time 21:20:09), you typed:: TS> In the file /boot/grub/menu.lst you will find a line that starts with TS> kopts or maybe it was koptions. Thanks, this did the trick. Strangely enough, the command "kopt" isn't documented anywhere so i had to experiment a little. This was what i learned: To change the name of the synth, add the following to what's already in the /boot/grub/menu.lst: "kopt_kernel_number" The "kopt" word is there, but you must follow it with the kernel number, so when it's ready, it should look something like: "kopt_2_4_21=" then there's some text and at the end of the line you can type the following: "speakup_synth=SynthName" where "synthname" is the name of your synthesizer. In all the examples above, you should not have the quotes. Note that if you have a dual-boot system with say weirdows and Linux, do *not* run update-grub, for it will for some strange reason remove the windows booting lines, at least it did so for me. Maybe i did something wrong. Note: this thing i've described here seems to work for me, i can't guarantee it will work for anyone else so please don't hang me.:) - -- /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) iD8DBQFAXYFeODlJeoMTOQsRAzS9AKD0VZVe6RPompVCW0ZWRW6ykwPJ4gCg4IKJ OJV6+RLSxKORIOzz9FARf+E= =Q3H6 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
