Shaun! You need to make sure you are getting the text.gz or color.gz files from the /pub/speakup/disks/slackware/slackware-7.1/rootdsks/ directory. You need to make sure that your ftp client is retrieving them in binary form. It may be easier just to use the DOS ftp client. Just type bin after you have logged in and this should be good for you. If you have any more questions feel free to ask!
