This version finally got rid of the speakup.s kernel and just has speakup in the main kernel. Very few kernels on the dvd these days so I waited a minute after the dvd started spinning until it stopped then keyed in huge.s speakup-synth=ltlk and though the disk started spinning by the time the disk had stopped I had no speech. I'm not sure I'm waiting long enough to start typing and don't have a screen attached to this computer so sighted assistance cannot help. The only thing in the kernels/speakup.s/ directory is a README.TXT file with the announcement of the removal of speakup.s. jude <jdashiel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Twitter: @jdashiel _______________________________________________ Speakup mailing list Speakup@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://linux-speakup.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/speakup
