-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Well, using extended works for me while the stuff is being loaded. I can press the numpad-period and speakup speaks "line 50 col 1 tty1" but right about the time the rc.d scripts finish up their thing, It reverts back to saying "line 25...". That's why I think something is getting in the way later on after the boot sequence. On Wed, Nov 10, 2004 at 01:35:59PM -0800, Ralph W.
