missing Grub entry

[Glenn at home]

I guess it may not be for me.
I will no longer bother this list if this is the general consensus here.
As much as I am not a fan of NT, due to screen-reader difficulties, I guess 
I may have to forget all of this Linux and go with something that I can get 
some help with.

Hi.

Things change quickly in the Linux world.  Also, it looks like you read
the Fedora HOWTO and just assumed it would work anywhere.  Debian ain't
Fedora.  Go read the Debian specific docs instead of guessing.
Especially when you continue to guess wrong.

Since you won't read, ****There is not a 2.6 official Debian kernel with
speakup.***  If you want a 2.6 kernel  in Debian, you build it
yourself.
There has never been a text speakup)_synth=synthname for Debian.  You're
confusing Debian with Fedora.  The answers to your questions are spelled
out clearly in the docs for Debian.

Btw, I'm being harsh with you cause you keep not bothering to read.
Stop guessing and go read!
