I'm running ubuntu, and the following appears at the bottom of the losetup man page The losetup command is part of the util-linux-ng package and is avail- able from ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util-linux-ng/. I also saw something about debian hashing the password. Maybe you could try hashing it before running the voxin-installer script and passing the hashed version. You may also need to hack the script because it seems to look for packages on your system using 'dpkg -l' which you don't have. If you could get that lang file mounted, you should be in business. Does slackware have a hash command? Maybe you could get one of us to send you a tarball of the /opt/IBM/ibmtts tree. You'll also need the old stdc++ library and perhaps the module to access ibmtts from speech-dispatcher. Chris
