I then rebuilt the initrd image as explained in the how to. I am able to login as root to my fedora core 6 system and even if I do modprobe speakup_dectlk I get no speech and hear no beep when pressing back space as I hear before issuing the modprobe command. So far to work on my fedora core 6 system I have just been mounting it in /mnt on my debian etch system and then using chroot to set the root directory to the mounted directory. What can I do to tell the scripts that build the initrd when a new kernel is installed to build speakup with the dectalk express module so I won't need to rebuild it each time I install a new kernel? Sorry for all of these issues but I just don't know where else to look as this is the largest source of speakup users so I am not trying to bother anyone here with my questions, just need a little help starting out with fedora core 6.
