Re: Thinkpad Saga Continues Hi Janina and all, Unfortunately, Windows was in place when I first got the Thinkpad but I had no way that I knew of at the time to break the partition that contained Windows in order to share it with Windows. My friend who is assisting me says that she has gotten XP up and running and partitioned half of the drive now so that I can use the other half of it for Linux. I should get the computer back tomorrow or Saturday, and then we'll see what happens when I try to install again. As for Speakup, I've noticed on my desktop machine, where I also use the Dectalk Express, that Speakup will suddenly stop reading when I'm in the middle of reading such things as compiling Gnome-speech or when Yum updates my system. It will be talking, then it suddenly stops talking, I have to refresh the screen in order for it to start talking again. Very strange indeed! I suspect I'll be posting here again when I try and do the dual boot thing, as I haven't done this before.<smile> Thanks, Beth
