Tony, How long did you wait from when the dvd started spinning until you did your typing? Also, the slackware-howto file is inaccurate since it left: speakup.s speakup.synth=ltlk in that file. I was trying to get it to come up with hugesmp.s with and without speakup.s in the boot parameters earlier but never could figure out the wait time. jude <jdashiel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Twitter: @jdashiel _______________________________________________ Speakup mailing list Speakup@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://linux-speakup.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/speakup
