installation not speaking

installation not speaking

[Danny Keogh]

Hi people.  I've only just joined the list and am fairly
inexperienced with linux.  I now have a spare computer and
decided to give it a go and learn this thing but I can't even
get it installed.  I have used older versions of slackware with
speakup so have a pretty good idea what I'm doing.  For some
reason though I can't get the latest install to speak at all.  I
have a doubletalk internal synthesizer which does work.  It
speaks on an old slackware 7.0 boot disc I found but I can't get
the current one speaking at all.  I'm following the instructions
exactly booting off the cd.  I've had a sighted person confirm
the cd is booting properly just with no speech.

Any suggestions?

Hi.

I'm assuming that you've read the speakup docs in the root directory
of the first slackware 9.1 cd-rom?

In order to get speech when you boot from the cd-rom, once at the boot
prompt, you should be typing:

speakup.s speakup_synth=dtlk

If this is what you're typing, and you're not getting speech, can the
sighted person helping you tell us what speakup related messages you're getting?
