* install questions @ Chris Schulte ` William F. Acker WB2FLW +1-303-777-8123 0 siblings, 1 reply; 9+ messages in thread From: Chris Schulte @ UTC (permalink / raw) To: speakup Hi all, A couple of install questions. First I installed Redhat 6.2 on my system using the speakup boot disk. It went ok, except I goofed when it asked me for a keyboard, and I didn't use the speakup.map keyboard. I chose RO. I hope that this is my only problem, because I am not aware if speakup is supposed to be installed to the hard drive when using a boot disk with it on it or if I still have to go get the source and compile a kernel. I am assuming the latter, because when I boot into linux, the braille and speak just gives me a slight bit of jiberish for a few seconds and then is silent. Any help on this would be appreciated, and some idea what I would need for the kernel would be helpful also, what I mean by that statement is that if there's already a basic kernel that is pre-compiled that I can just download and copy to the hard drive where I need it I would grately appreciate it. I am very new to the whole linux environment, and at present the kernel documentation is confusing me. Again any help would be useful. Thanks in advance Chris Schulte ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 9+ messages in thread

Acker WB2FLW +1-303-777-8123 @ UTC (permalink / raw) To: speakup Hi Chris, I didn't understand if you had a boot disk with Speakup on it, or are you booting with the stock kernel that comes with RedHat. By any chance does the gibberish sound like the word "at"?? If so, speakup probably isn't finding your synth and the "at" you're hearing is kudzu trying to find out if there's a modem on the port where your synthesizer is. The easiest way to fix the keymap problem is to type from the prompt as root: chkconfig --level 2345 keytable off Any questions call or write. Calling will usually get a quicker response. HTH.

It takes up to two seconds to look for new hardware every boot. I rarely add or change my hardware so it seems superfolous to me to have it run. In RedHat this is easy to turn on and off. As root run setup. Then arrow down to system services and hit enter. Here you can turn services on and off. -- Kirk Wood Cpt.Kirk@1tree.net ------------------ It's not reality that's important, but how you perceive things. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 9+ messages in thread
* Re: install questions ` Kirk Wood @ ` Chris Schulte ` Jason Custer 0 siblings, 1 reply; 9+ messages in thread From: Chris Schulte @ UTC (permalink / raw) To: speakup Well, first of all, in reply to Bill's question, I did use a speakup boot disk for the install of linux. Second, I don't know if kudzu is running, I assume so because it sounds like something that is turned on by default. Thirdly, the advice I was given here was that Linux was looking for a modem on com one. This is probably true because the word at appears on the braille display. I am using a braille lite forty and not a braille and speak. It is just running with speech on and in speech box mode. so, I'm assuming that linux is looking on com one for a modem. How do I set it up to see the braille lite, and is it worth it to do now because I don't even know if I have speakup installed as a part of my kernel. As I said previously, I don't think so, because I was using a speakup boot disk, but I don't know if what you use for a kernel on the boot disk gets installed as part of the kernel on your hard drive. Again please help!! I am definitely new to this, actually, most of the things discussed on this list are over my head, but I figure I'll learn someday.

I will give you my phone number or something, because there is no way to explain this easily. You will probibly want to be walked through things, as there is no way to easily anticipate everything that may happen. My email address is jasoncuster@home.com. I have lots of experience using my braille 'n speak and linux, and we probibly can get it worked out.

I recommend you get the roaring penguin pppoe package. I believe it can be found at www.roaringpenguin.com. It has a set of good docs and I believe the newer version have fairly good configuration scripts. I'm still using a very old version but it works well and is certainly reliable.
