or you can select thhis option from the windows format disk menu in my computer. Next, get a copy of loadlin.exe, and put it on the disk. Then create autoexec.bat similar to the below lines depending on your configuration. autoexec.bat @echo off loadlin vmlinuz root=/dev/hda1 speakup_synth=xxx speakup_ser=y ro end autoexec.bat Of course, adjust the above for your needs.
