List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Ok. I got on slackware's site and it sounds really great, but there's only one problem. I went to Speakup's ftp site to find zipspeak, and a page informed me that it had been moved to the slackware ftp server. When I followed the address given, I was rudely rebuffed for trying to get a directory that doesn't exist. I tried the zipspeak page that's housed by speakup, but I got a page doesn't exist message. Can anyone help me find zipspeak? Thanks. At 10:46 AM 12/7/01 -0600, you wrote: >I'm afraid you're right. My programming skills aren't too flashy, and I've >never used any linux before.
