Hi, i am attempting to install the Speakup enabled Fedora via isos on my HD. I downloaded the three Yaro binary isos, as well as the boot.iso from linux-speakup.org. i burned boot.iso to a cd and am booting from that disk. When I specify that I want to install from the HD and provide the path to my isos, I get the following error. "The Fedora core installation tree in that directory does not seem to match your boot media. Is there anything I can do to resolve this or is there a discrepancy in the isos?

Acker WB2FLW +1-303-722-7209 @ UTC (permalink / raw) To: SPEAKUP Distribution List Hi, Al, Long time, no hear. Were all the ISO's downloaded around the same time? The easiest thing to do might be to download the boot.iso and try again. Oh, reading over your message, it isn't clear to me that you got all your ISO's from the Speakup site. If, by chance, you got the three installation disks from somewhere else, then download the boot-orig.iso file from the Speakup site. If you do this, you'll have to manually install the Speakup kernels after installation. If you have any questions, call or write. Calling will most likely get a quicker response. -- Bill in Denver On Fri, 21 Nov 2003, Al Puzzuoli wrote: > Hi, > > i am attempting to install the Speakup enabled Fedora via isos on my HD.

Hi Bill, Thanks as always for your very prompt response. 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?

Hi, The boot parameter is only useful when Speakup is built into the kernel, as it is on the installation disk. The running system uses modules for Speakup. Therefore, as root, do: modprobe speakup_ltlk You can loadd the modules to your initrd file to have Speakup start automatically on boot.
