There is no inconsistency here. Was not implying one on your part. The Red Hat 9 manual knows nothing about Speakup or installing the Speakup Modified. So, it tells you how to start a text install on screen. It will happily do that for you, but you're going to be unsatisfied without Speakup, I should think. Of course! The point here was not to debate how to start speakup. The point here was to insure that the word linux was not needed. I thought the directions were wonderful in the howto and am going to follow them to the letter trust me on that one. Now, please tell me. Do I need to protect you from this kind of confusion in the HOWTO? No I would not think so. I mean if you got a lot of users who were asking this question then you might want to point it out but it sounds like I am the only one at this point who has asked the question. Another reason I asked is my pc has a broken pc speaker that I have been to lazy to replace so when I first tried the commands the first few times the boot timed out. So nothing was happening when I was issuing my boot command. Text speakup_synth=acnts So I remembered that the redhat guide witch was infroant of me said to type linux before text. Instead of trying it out like I guess I should have done I asked just to verify that I was doing things the right way. As I said when I said there was an inconsistency I ment that both manuals said the inisal command to get a text install was slightly different this was not a gritasisom of your howto or anything. This was just a request for clarifications. Thanks
