I was trying to install a current version of slackware using the litetalk synthesizer earlier. Given slackware's installer kernel is broken, I got some remote sighted assistance and was told wait 30 seconds then key in boot parameters and that fails persistently insofaras getting speech up. So apparently slackware and Fedora have something in common. In both cases an installer interested in doing an accessible installation needs to find and download an earlier version of the operating systems that did install accessibly and use that version to install then upgrade through the versions to get to current versions. Moonshine on Fedora worked on intel machines in the past and if my memory is correct, maybe slackware 11.2 ought to be able to get it done in this case. What I will do now is take a stab at getting slackware 11.2 to speak and if that fails as time and my download quotas permit will try other versions in the future. This is now a low priority back burner project. I was surprised the distribution got broken in this way. jude <jdashiel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Twitter: @JudeDaShiell _______________________________________________ Speakup mailing list Speakup@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://linux-speakup.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/speakup
