OK. I'm aware how much extra effort it is to get the boot params in at the right time when you don't have a beep from your bios to signal you. In fact, I generally prefer to edit my boot script to include my params, even at the cost of creating a new iso image for booting. I wish we could get some kind of sonicon along with the Boot> prompt, but we caught a lot of hell when gdm included a beep with the login prompt, so I don't expect we'll get anything with Boot>. jim grimsby writes: > > 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.
