the first part of my message with Debian and Speakup 2.2r2

[Scott B. Berry]

Please see answers below your response.

What synth are you using? Also are you using
I amusing a DoubleTalk Lt.
lilo or Grub as your boot loader?
I am using Lilo as the boot loader. If you are using lilo the shift key will
stop the boot process entirely. You then get a lilo prompt or a "boot."
Also are you using the stock kernel 2.2.19pre21-idepci or a newer kernel?
I am using the kernel that actually is on the Speakup site in the 2.2r2
Debian iso.  I am not sure what kernel it is.
