installed (or, rather, upgraded to) Fedora 9

[Albert E. Sten-Clanton]

Gena, thanks for that pointer.  I don't remember seeing anything here about the period replacing the underscore, but you inspired me to do a google search, and I found mention of it on the Linux from Scratch site.

In case this may be useful to anybody, my Fedora 9 didn't come up talking at first.  With the aid of my GRML CD, I found that grub.conf still had the underscore where the period should be now.  I fixed that, and the bad boy speaks.  I don't know whether this is because I did an upgrade instead of a reinstall, but I doubt it.  If it did, though, I'll be glad for correction.

Al

as well as adding "speakup_ser=0".  (I use an external TriplTalk.) I tested my steps on my Fedora 8 rescue CD, which worked fine, so I'm pretty sure I'm
doing what I'm supposed to unless the process has changed.
