type modprobe speakup_<synthname for decktalk express> the name you used at boot up(don't include the <> marks). Did you initially get speech during the install? If so, then this command I gave you should work to load decktalk. If it does, add the boot parameter to the menu.lst file. On your system that may be /ect/grub.conf. If this did not work, you have some other problem. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Eric" <cyeric20@xxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Monday, March 21, 2005 4:31 PM Subject: install the Speakup Modified Fedora Distribution unsuccessful Hi: the Speakup Modified Fedora Distribution does not speak.
