If so, you have the kernels with speakup included and need to turn on almost with the command you sho, but not quite. If you did not rsync, you need to download the kernel from the ftp site appropriate to your cpu. and install it with rpm. Since you're using an Apollo, your command is: modprobe speakup_apolo and nothing else. Note the bad spelling of "apolo." To install the Speakup kernel you need to: rpm -Uv [kernel.name] Please note that all these examples with brackets/braces [kernel.name], or {speakup_synth} are tokens. You don't type [speakup_synth], you substitute the appropriate synth identifier as understood by the code Speakup inserts in the kernel. Get that wrong, and you certainly will not have speech. So, for the Doubletalk internal it becomes: modprobe speakup_dtlk And for your Apollo it is as I gave it above, with the bad spelling and all. Darragh writes: > From: "Darragh" > > Hello.
