I downloaded the isos last evening from ftp://linux-speakup.org, but something is very strange. So far, I am noticing the following problems: 1. The issue I mensioned earlier about not being able to install from isos on the HD. 2. it seems like the Speakup kernel is either not being installed, or the speakup_synth parameter is not being passed to the kernel. I know that at least disk 1 is correct because when I boot it and do text speakup_synth=ltlk, the installer comes up talking. I am selecting grub as my boot loader, and it looks like the installer is configuring grub to pass the speakup_synth=ltlk parameter at boot time; However, once the install finishes and the system reboots, I have no speech. I have even tried to pass the parameter manually, but I am not as familiar with grub so am not sure if I'm doing it correctly. the syntax i have used is "a speakup_synth=ltlk". I appreciate your offer of assistance via phone and will gladly take you up on it if I can't resolve this soon. What times are convenient for you to receive calls? Thanks again,
