jerky speech from doubletalk?

[Aaron Howell]

thanks very much bill,
I changed jiffy_delta to 25 and everything is now as it should be.
I really like the new Redhat beta, for those of you who haven't tried it out,
there's no more need for speakup modified images, everything is included on the standard iso.
Stick the disk in, type "text speakup_synth=xxxxxx" and off you go.
(and make the changes bill outlines below once the install is done).
Regards
Aaron
