hi Travis, do you wait until the cd stops spinning before you type the line in? what com port is your transport on? try putting it on the first com port if possable if it is on another port you might have to type in speakup_ser=1 for com2 anyway the first thing we need to know is what com port you have the transport on. and make sure that you wait until the cd completly stopps spinning before you type the line in. randy turner On Sun, 10 Dec 2006, Travis Siegel wrote: > Hello all. > I recently downloaded slackware version 11, and tried to install it > using the slackware kernel.
