Hi, i'm very sad, as usual i made apt-get update ; followed ap-get upgrade. There was also a new version from the speakup kernelimage. Bu it coudln't be installed. there was the following error: usr/sbin/mkinitr 1359 mkx2fs command not found, errornumber 9 ... So now my System isn't speaking anymore, I tried it booting with another Kernel, this works but no way to get speach, only braile, but i read so slow... Any hints? Many thanks in advance. regards Lutz, p.s: please note i very new to linux 2 month <smile)
