Okay now install it. Put it in your root directory and unzip it. If you
use pkunzip, pkunzip -do zipspeak.zip will do that properly for you. Next
in the c:\linux subdirectory you'll find a readme.txt file. Good idea to
read the file, it's not that long. Then you'll need to download a couple
more files appropriate for your speech synthesizer. You can't run this on a
sound card, so if that's all you have delete the file unless that will
change soon. I have a litetalk synthesizer and needed to download ltlk and
ltlk.img from matt campbell's site. I copied ltlk to vmlinuz.spk and put it
in my linux directory and then ran loadlin. loadlin is the dos program that
will run zipspeak. Before you try this, put your synthesizer in standby or
sleep mode so it's still on and can be started up by other software. what I
typed was loadlin \linux\vmlinuz.spk root=/dev/hda5 rw <cr>. If you have an
ide hard drive and you used c: for this system, it should start to come up
and work. Now here's a life line for you. If you don't get to the login
prompt and even if you do, after you have shutdown and reboted back into
dos, have a look at c:\linux\var\adm\syslog. That's a very important file.
If any major errors happened in your boot process linux writes them in that
file. If there's lots of stuff in that file, send that file as part of a
message to a list and ask for help. People will be able to see what
happened on your machine and give you intelligent help lots quicker. If you
want to sign up to blinux-newbie, send email to listserv@braille.uwo.ca

the correct information.
