I'm trying to install speakup-0.10a on redhat kernel 2.2.19.
I put the speakup sources under /usr/src and copied the source tree for
linux-2.2.19 into linux. I entered the speakup source directory at
/usr/src/speakup-0.10a and typed ./install and got this mess:

If you're able to download the iso images at
ftp://speakup.octothorp.org, you'll be ahead of the game. Bill Acker has
patched speakup into the current Redhat install very nicely. You'll get
a fully accessible install--well except for the first prompt where there
is no speech and you have to indicate your synthesizer. But after that
prompt, the install is accessible and the speech is built in. It's by
far the easiest coarse. I heartily recommend it.

Actually, I'd trying to learn as juch about linux as I can, so I'd like to
try and patch and compile the kernel myself. Couple of questions: : we're
running redhat 6.2.1 with kernel 2.2.19. What does the redhat version number
signify? When examining the README in /usr/src/linux and the associated
Changes file in the kernel subdirectory, it mentions a command called
insmod. I don't have it. What is it and where do I get it?
Is there a document I should read to further this process? I think I have a
decent understanding of what I'm doing inprinciple, I just don't know where
things live and their names. Incidentally, what do yu-all do about linux
cryptic commands and speech? I've gotten used to long filenames, and labeled
controls - going back to unpronouncible command names etc is just kind of
painful.
Thanx in advance.
Rich

Well, this is laudable, certainly. But, why suffer? You have better
control if you are running the system natively rather than over telnet
or some such. Also, the redhat install you're on is quite out of date. I
still would recommend you get the Bill Acker iso's and install an up to
date linux package. Then, grab an even later kernel and practice. You'll
always have the other kernel as a boot option. Yes, that's something
else Windows people don't realize--as you boot linux you can choose
among many kernels to boot with.
To answer some of your other questions:
Redhat numbers are iterative and relate to Redhat only.
insmod is 'insert module' and you almost certainly have it. If you
actually need to see where it lives use the locate command as follows:
locate insmod
If you really want long file names, have at it. They're most certainly
supported in linux. Just remember to put them in quotes if you're using
spaces in the file names, as , for example:
"My Long File Name.txt"

Hi:
These binary operator errors are being caused by the fact that the version
of bash you are running is not bash version 2. You'll need to ensure that
vash2 is installed (maybe try 'locate bash2' - I don't know the redhat way
to check this), and you'll need to change the first line of
/usr/src/speakup-0.10a/install to point at bash2 rather than bash. Then it
should work.
Geoff.

Hi,
I am unable to boot from CD, and thus would need to use a boot disk. Will my
external Dec express work if I was to use the boot.img that is located on
redhat disk 1?
Thanks in advance

Mo.

Yes, absolutely. And, you can have your Express talk you through the
install. It's been speech enabled except for the very first prompt where
you need to tell speakup what synth you're using.
Here's how to get this part right:
Monitor your floppy as it starts booting just after the little system
beep which indicates the end of the bios part of the boot process. After
a very short time spinning, the floppy will pause. This is your prompt
to enter:
text speakup_synth=dectlk
Notice that synth is spelled s y n t h and notice that dectlk is the
speakup keyword that signifies the Dec-Talk Express. There are other
keywords for other synths.
Enjoy!
