Going back to this orriginal thread, When your decktalk stops speaking, or you tell it to shutup,what does speakup say when you hit the read current line key? The bootup process will say a lot of what may seem to be useless information. Have you tried specifying the speakup and text parameters but not the specific serial port? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gregory Nowak" <greg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <jaffar at jeffstudio.net>; "Speakup is a screen review system for Linux." <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Thursday, May 05, 2005 1:30 PM Subject: Re: at a loss > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > Just because you can't get fedora installed, doesn't mean you should > give up on installing gnu/linux.

It seems to me that my ambition to install and learn the ins and outs of the linux OS has all but failed. I have copied the installation howto into braille to the letter as ready reference, done all that is required of me at the preparation stage, even did almost nothing else but tried to get FC3 installed for the past 2 days, but nothing seems to work. I can't even get past the first stage of text installation simply because speakup refuses to talk to my Dectalk express. I cannot say if my dectalk express is the source of the problem because it works very well with Wineyes and jaws even. I am totally stuck now and don't know what else I can do. Unless someone who has installed linux with the dectalk express synth is willing to help me, i'll have to shelf the idea of installing linux, at least for the foreseeable future.
