Ok, I have still two questions. 1. Can I skip editing the file to start a festival server, and instead run a server in the background from the shell I'm working in? I mean festival -server & 2. Is speakup multi console, or is it like yasr that I have to start it in every console I'm using. ok, just a third question, but that question will maybe make some of you happy. I find it very dificult to download all packages I need to install speech-dispatcher. all things like libasound and the other tools.Would you like to see a place on the internet where all these things are available at the same time along with a speakup &festival howto? If you are interested in that Please write to the list or directly to me. If enough people are interested I'll begin to work on this. /kristoffer ?Kristoffer Gustafsson Sols?ter M?nstadsv?gen 3 51453 M?nstad Telefon: 0325 42093 Mobil: 073-822 64 73 E-post: skeeter at allmail.net
