Upgrading from FC8 to FC9, quick follow-up

[Albert E. Sten-Clanton]

I'm sorry I forgot about this when I wrote earlier.  If you choose upgrade rather than install, I think you'll need to change the underscore to a period in one or more places in your grub.conf file.  

I hope I've helped.

Greetings!

I think it will work if you replace the underscore with a period, so you have

speakup.synth=acntsa

I learned this about two weeks ago or so.
