-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: RIPEMD160 I just downloaded two recent install CD's for Debian Lenny; one from June of this year (Beta 2) and a testing image dated today Oct 9th. I have a speakout synth hooked up on ttyS0 and am using it at this very moment. But alas, I cannot get it to work with these Debian boot disks. The command I'm using is install speakup.synth=spkout I tried this with and without pressing tab first. In all cases, I get no speech. I saw in the f8.txt that speakup could be used but in parentheses, they said graphical installer only so I also tried installgui speakup.synth=spkout Again, no speach then either. What could be wrong here? I thought these latest CD's would have kernels compatible with Speakup. Do I still have to go out and boot with a dedicated boot disk like Samuel's disk? Thanks for helping. - -- HolmesGrown Solutions The best solutions for the best price! http://holmesgrown.ld.net/ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFI7pZZWSjv55S0LfERA9j5AKDJtixklXzgPzkR5AbQj2emC9rt7ACfW2NU olA209d/OzZC9AvLT6bDaSo= =Lfs7 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
