Hello Randy, Yes, that command will work if you're using the Speakup.s kernel on a floppy. However, if you have access to a normal CD-ROM based installation, here's a quicker and easier way to get the process going. Put the first Slackware CD into your CD-rom drive and boot up your computer. When the disk stops spinning, type: speakup.s speakup_synth={synth_name} HTH Steve On Friday, February 11, 2005, 3:19:37 PM, you stood on a roof and loudly proclaimed: > hi all, > is the ramdisk command for speakup.s > the same as it is for speakup.i? > after the floppy stops i inter this > "ramdisk speakup_synth=dtlk" > with the speakup.i that works > but not with the speakup.s > thanks in advance. > randy > _______________________________________________ > Speakup mailing list > Speakup at braille.uwo.ca > http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup ---------- Stephen Clower Email/.Net Messenger: steve at steve-audio.net AIM: AudioRabbit03 Skype: sclower Check out my little home on the web at http://www.steve-audio.net
