missing Grub entry

[Glenn at home]

I did not build anything.
I did read the Debian install, but that was some time back on my first 
installation.
I am wondering now if it was lilo that I needed to configure instead of grub 
for Debian to load up speakup on boot-up.
It used to be:
text speakup_synth=txprt
But I don't recall reading if that has changed for lilo, since I put the 
word speakup in place of "text", for the installation CD.
But I had 2 choices for the kernel during the installation, and one was 
2.4.27-speakup, and I did not want that, so I took the newer, which was 
2.6.? (I don't remember the last part but it did not have "-speakup" at the 
end), I really did not care, I just wanted 2.6 so I could have audio, since 
that was an issue with my last installation.
* So I guess I will just fdisk and start over, and if I go with lilo instead 
of grub, should I be given the option to add a boot line for calling up 
speakup?

I've looked on my system and I don't see any kernel 2.6.8 something.
Did you build this yourself?
You don't edit the boot loader manually during the installer.
Didn't you read the installation manual?

Now, I'm confused.  Did you call the 2.6.8 kernel you built "something".
"speakup" or "text"?

Why would you possibly think su would help you with a Knoppix CD?
Maybe you should go read before just doing.  Your message shows you
haven't bothered.  All of this message is answered in the Debian
installation manual, the speakup specific readme for Debian on the
speakup site and the Knoppix documentation.
