Hi,
Perhaps I missed the initial message in this thread, but I was curious
why you'd need to go through the DD steps and all?
I just ran the speakup.s install directly. Granted, I have a hardware
synthesizer, so that makes a difference. It just worked for me though--dd
seems an extremely brute force approach. I don't like brute force in most
circumstances.
Hope this helps,
Zack.
