slackware 8.0

[Raul A. Gallegos]

Perhaps this will work then.  I think I've got the answers to your
problem.

Perhaps the way the binary downloaded got corrupted.  In any case if you
got it off the cdrom this point is irrelevant.

Sometimes with external synthesizers you have to specify the serial port
to use like this:  speakup_ser=0 so something like this should work.  I
can't remember off hand the litetalk code so if I have it wrong please
excuse.  Since you already have slack installed just edit /etc/lilo.conf
and add this line.

append="speakup_ser=0 speakup_synth=ltlk"

Again I might have the incorrect code for the litetalk but you can find
that easily enough.
