Thanks to Janina and all for the Speakup-install HOWTO.

I'm wondering if there is a HOWTO just for using Speakup.  I haven't 
managed to figure out things like whether there's a 'read to end' function, 
how to change speech parameters, and stuff like that, but I'm thinking I"m 
just not looking in the right place.  I know the modified install HOWTO 
covers some screen review stuff., but is there more somewhere?

Thanks,
Liz

Hi, Janina. I've just read through your install how to and one important
tidbit needs mentioning.
If using lilo with a disk larger than 1024 cylendars you should not use
linear mode and use lba32 instead.I believe this can be changed on the same
screen ast the one where you put the lines for speakup.
I just recently put Red Hat on a disk with 3736 cylendars and lilo would not
boot. When I asked Red Hat technical support they said to change the linear
to lba32, and it worked like a charm.
You might want to mention this so that future newbies who probably will have
large hard drives will know this.

Liz:
You can check out the DefaultKeyAssignments file in the pub/linux/speakup
area at the complete URL of:
ftp://linux-speakup.org/pub/linux/speakup

Hopefully, this will help.  If you download the speakup source, there's
always a file in there that has all the key-assignments, as well.
