Subject: speakup & fDisk
Date: Wed, 4 Dec 2002 19:57:12 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <000501c29c01$a13b17a0$a600a8c0@glenn> (raw)
I have 2 concerns going on here.
I have reached the point where I have to select a tool for disk
partitioning, and I felt that fDisk was the best choice, since I did not
complete the fDisk in DOS , on the drive I am preparing to devote entirely
to Linux.
And I am fairly comfortable with disk partitioning, as I have done it
successfully several times with the other OS.
But before I get to the problem with fDisk, I have some problem with speakup
which I know should not be there.
I noticed that as I move around the screen with tabs, I always get 2 or 3
items read to me.
I have figured out that the last item is usually the item selected, but this
is quite difficult, especially when I need to be careful to not format my
/dev/hda1 drive.
The 8 key on the number pad either says nothing or the incorrect item. And
I have tried using the numpad enter key to shift the focus, and it does not
help.
But when I ran the incorrect boot disk, not the one from my ISO, I did not
get this double speaking problem, but I cannot use the wrong boot disk, as I
eventually get an error with the wrong disk.
* So I guess my question is: How do I get fDisk to know I want to format
/dev/hdb?, as /dev/hda1 seems to be the only option.
And is there a way to effect the verbosity of speakup so it does not give me
this double talk?
Thanks.
