I just ran the speakup.s install directly. Granted, I have a hardware synthesizer, so that makes a difference. It just worked for me though--dd seems an extremely brute force approach. I don't like brute force in most circumstances. Hope this helps, Zack. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jude DaShiell" To: Sent: Friday, March 21, 2008 2:48 PM Subject: slackware 12.0 > What may work for that version for speakup install is to install only > packages that come off of disc1 then use dd -if /kernel/speakup.s -of > /boot/vmlinuz.
