Hi, try booting it using the speakup26 kernel instead Hth -----Original Message----- From: speakup-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:speakup-bounces at braille.uwo.ca] On Behalf Of jaffar at jeffstudio.net Sent: Monday, June 20, 2005 8:31 AM To: Speakup is a screen review system for Linux. Subject: Re: Debian netinst CD with speakup Hi I don't know if this is an appropriate thread on which to discuss this on, but the netinst Cd would not boot and I seem to get no response either from the CD or when i typed in the speakup command at the boot prompt. I have set the bios on my pc to boot up with my Cd drive, so I can't exactly be sure what is really happening here. Fedora and slackware, for example did spin during the boot up and after the text commands for each was typed in, but i got no response from the debian netinst CD at all, no spinning to speak off. Don't know what to do next.
