The speakupmodified.org site states that I should follow the instructions up to the point where I type at the boot prompt. Does this include down arrowing and hitting tab and space? What, exactly, do these keystrokes do? I should probably remove references to the boot prompt as there is now a menu where there actually used to be a command line prompt. Yes, you do want to do the TAB and space thing. It starts you down the path of a text based installation, and puts a space at the end of the command. You then continue by specifying the parameters you need to specify, telnet, perhaps your's ethernet device's mac address with ksdevice=, etc. Note that you can avoid this piece of non speaking difficulty if your computer will boot from a USB memory stick.. If so, you can simply add those parameters to the appropriate section of the syslinux.cfg file on the stick using any good text editor. Then, when you boot, you simply wait for your computer to come on line--to respond to the ping--at which point you're ready to telnet to it. Janina
