List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Hello again all, I'm back and giving linux another try. I tried several weeks ago but had problems. I've been busy and am now= getting back to it. Ok, I've managed to get a little farther than the last time I posted. I= have created a windows me boot disk and tried to start linux from there.= I had sighted help and when i changed to the c: drive and ran linux.bat= they said they saw some kind of error message but it went by too fast to= read. There was lots of text. My synth didn't say a word though. The= problem is I don't know if I set something up wrong or if it's my ssynth. The documentation says I can use the braille 'n speak or any of that line= of blazie note takers for speach I believe, but I use the new braille lite= m20 and I think I read somewhere that the braille lite m20 and m40 use= different speach technology than the earlier products so I don't know if= it's compatible with speakup at all. Would it be possible to use software= speach? I also could be setting it up wrong though. Am I supposed to put any other= files on the startup disk other than what windows puts on there? Thanks much in advance for any help. I've had the extreme misfortune of= running microsoft crashware, er, I mean windows, for more than 5 years and= so now seem to lose all computer knoledge once I'm outside of it. Lol. Thanks again.
