Hi, I found that the gentoo live CD does work with dectalk express I typed at the boot prompt gentoo speakup_synth=dectlk nox and everything booted ok. Partitioning my hard drive with gentoo I can't figure out. I want my swap partition to still be the same but when I tried to recreate the reiserfs filesystem I could not find out what to press as the choices are not numberd. How do I go about this and I keep getting stuck in a loop where I hit the delete partition and hit no then can't get out of that screen to tell the installation how I want the partition. I want one partition as swap and one is / the root. How in the text based installer-dialog do you do these tasks?
