I assume i'll have to do a InitRd with the speakup parameters on them, but i can for the life of me not remember the syntax for this. I'm also in a dual boot environment with Windows XP and Fedora core and have Grub as my boot loader. Any info on this would be greatly appreciated. /K On 21 Nov 2003 23:27:32 (my local time 22 nov 2003 05:27:32), you typed:: AP> Hi Bill, AP> Thanks as always for your very prompt response.
