Well, why is it that I cannot burn the image if it's the last thing I do! I've tried both nero and Roxio under Winshit of which neither work... I swear so help me on the Bible! the minute! I get this thing burnt as should be, I am! wiping Windows completely! i don't care if I know Linux well or not... That! with the CD burning issue knowing I just wasted a whole 10 dollar pack of CD's and now have none left, as put me over the Goddamn fcreak! Sorry for the strong language, but this is no more no less, than rediculous! Does anyone know an alternative way I can burn this since the iso disk 1 downloaded fine, which is all Alex said I really needed escentially? It isn't a matter of it not downloading, i have all 625mb of it, it just will not burn! I thought maybe the download had been corrupted, so thus, tried this morning to redownload it, only to my dismay, that it still didn't work... I can't imagine that the image up there is corrupted whenever IE downloaded it entirely without crashing. I will not! go back to Redhat or Fedora though as the netconfig utility for me anyways, seems very unspeech friendly, that is, compared to under Slackware, and B, The fact that I don't know how to update to the CVS version of Speakup... i really could use some help though... i want the littlest hastle of configuration possible... I want it to automatically mount my windows drive on /dev/hda1 if possible, and automatically detect my sound card, SB Live Value EMU10K1, if possible. Further more, I will not! tollerate this bug with Accent... my Windows M E though is goin' bye bye. Period... Please! someone help me...

Chris Gilland @ ` Erik Heil ` Chris Gilland ` Geoff Shang 1 sibling, 1 reply; 10+ messages in thread From: Erik Heil @ UTC (permalink / raw) To: Speakup is a screen review system for Linux. Hey there Chris. I believe that your sound card should be automatically detected by your 2.4.22 kernel, depending on what modules Slackware uses for their CD's. Sorry, I'm not familiar with slackware, more of a Debian person. However they state that they use the standard kernel from kernel.org. Next, to update your speakup version, what you'll want to do is when you have network access under Linux, grab the speakup 1.5 tarball, change to the directory with your kernel sources, usually /usr/src/Linux/2.4.22 and run the checkout script. This directory may be different, because I seem to recall that it may be Linux_2.4.22. an "ls" will ctell you what you need. Since you're a new user, I'd recommend doing a full install. This will give you a very complete GNU/Linux system. Heck, it even comes with a screen reader for Gnome! Not very functional yet, but at least you can use a few applications. This should get you started. Worse comes to worse, let me know and I'll just make you the CD's and mail them to you.

Yeah, I still can't get the stupid thing to burn, and I don't know why to save my life. You say you're more a Debian person... I did have the thought cross my mind of Debian, but, again, how easy would it be for you and I to get my sound card up and running, and how easy is the netconfig interface under Debian, vs. say Redhat... I know that with redhat, it was hardly manageable. Some have told me that is just because I'm very impatient, which may be true, to an extent, I'll willingly confess it, however, this really is very s strange, as far as the interface for Redhat's netconfig, and Granted, I'd do fine, probably with Slackware 9.1 except how am I supposed to install it when I can't get the iso to burn properly... Anyhow... Chris. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 10+ messages in thread

Chris, I had absolutely no problems burning the CD's and even booting the first CD with Speakup support. Once booted, you type speakup.s speakup_synth=keyword and it should come up talking. In my case, I have a Dectalk Express, so the keyword is dectlk. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chris Gilland" <chris@mailvision.ath.cx> To: "Speakup is a screen review system for Linux." <speakup@braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Wednesday, November 05, 2003 11:17 AM Subject: Re: R'r'really fuckin pissed! > Well, a corse! it's deffinently in the binary form. > > > Chris. > > > _______________________________________________ > Speakup mailing list > Speakup@braille.uwo.ca > http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 10+ messages in thread

Yeah, that was where my problem was...

You all just wouldn't believe! how much processor power it takes to burn a disc under Windows! man! I had to slow down my 48x writer, all the stinkin! way! to 8X, just to get the bazaared thing to burn! Nevertheless, it finally worked... Sorry if I got a bit repetative this morning on the reflecter... I know I probably may a bugged a few of yall by asking the same things over and over, so sorry bout that, it's just... You can't imagine how annoying it is, going without my linux... It's mine, and all mine!!! Waaaaa! Chris sucks his thumb... LOL! just kiddin.
