Well, Kathy, I've never heard of Norpix. I have heard of Red Hat, Debian, Slackware, but not Norpix. There are bootable images you can download from the speakup site: http://www.linux-speakup.org They all have Speakup built into them. That's your best bet, I think. There are a lot of folks on the speakup list who can help you better than can I. So, I am CC'ing the list now. I think it's great you want to try Linux. I'm sure someone will write back and help you out. Ann P. Kathy> -- "While they were saying among themselves it cannot be Kathy> done, it was done." Helen Keller -- Ann K.
