Hello y'all, Just tried installing Slackware v11, and it was a darned good thing I knew about /proc/speakup/rate! <rofl> I tried booting the speakup.i whatever, and it's not there; just the speakup.s file. Rebooted Windows just to make sure it was on the install DVD, and it's snot. So, I tried the speakup.s file just for the flock of it and it worked. Only problem is that according to the docs, it's the SCSI kernal, and I'm running IDE. I'm wondering if they packed the IDE modules into the .s kernal to save space. Anyone tried installing Slack-11 off DVD lately using speakup.s on an IDE system? TIA, Michael
