Hi all,
OK, so I have my Apollo synth here. I have burned the 3.2 GB DVD and I type the following at the boot prompt:
speakup_synth=apollo but nothing happens. What am I doing wrong?
Many thanks,
Christian

You forgot the word text. i.e.
text speakup_synth=apollo

That's only part of the command. You need to follow the directions in
the Installation HOWTO more carefully:
http://speakupmodified.org/HOWTO_INSTALL.html
In fact, the HOWTO even provides an example of the correct command using
Apollo as the example synthesizer. Quoting from the HOWTO:
"So, for example, to start a text-based installation with an
Apollo on the second serial port, you would type:
* text speakup_synth=apollo speakup_ser=1
end quotation.

I'm actually having a different problem installing FC6. (Yes, I've decided
to change from Debian and try out Fedora.) Any help would be much
appreciated.
I tried installing off CD's, and it goes through all the dependency checks
and all that, then it bombs out saying it can't find some package. In this
case, it's one of the openoffice packages. This package, I note, is on disc
#3 or #4 (pretty sure it's #3), but it never asks for discs after the first.
I checked, and df showed no CD mounted, so I changed to a different disc.
The installation griped when I pressed "Try again" and asked for Fedora
Disc -99 (negative 99?!)
This all happens when Fedora's copying the installation image after all the
dependency checks. Needsless to say...I now have a shiny Linux system with
nothing on it!
I had a similar problem when installing over NFS. In this case, I put all
the CDROM images in a folder, along with their contents (in directories
called Disc1 through Disc5). Ever tried finding an NFS server for Windows?
Anyway... I even tried to do a hard disk install, as I had the CD images on
a next3 partition on the machine I was installing on, and the boot CD or the
rescue CD wouldn't mount my ext3 partition to find the CD images (it wanted
a FAT file system...go figure!)
So, now I'm downloading the DVD image and will try to install over NFS with
it, since my Linux machine doesn't have a DVD-ROM. Meantime, I expect I'll
run into this again, so if anyone has any brilliant ideas on what steps I
missed or how to work around this, I'd appreciate.
Thanks :)

Buddy and Darragh:
Re the "insert disk 99" error, Bill Acker would like to chat on the
telephone about this. Clearly, this needs to be cleared up. It's been
seen before, but was supposedly resolved.
Personally, I can attest to three installations here but all using the
DVD iso image and a hard drive install. I don't have vfat partitions, by
the way. Mine are all ext3, so I'm beginning to suspect something very
much amiss in the cd images.

Hay there.
It sounds exactly like the problem I encountered a week ago.
Thankfully, with sighted assistance I used the graphical installer and didn't encounter this problem.
I think it will work for you if you choose to install virtualization. Let me know how you get on. I'm very interested in this as it drove me crazy for days!
Thanks
