<font size=3>Hi, all:<br>
<br>
I'm not the same New user" that did the earlier notes on this
thread, but I'm still a little confused here... I knew that with
RedHat 6.2 I needed to upgrade the Kernel to get my system to speak, but
I thought that with Redhat 7.1 and Kernel 2.4.2 that speakup was already
compiled in and once I did the install I could get my system to talk with
the right parameters. I'm in the process of downloading the kernel
RPM's from the octothorp web site, but is it true that I really do have
to install these?<br>
<br>
Bill had taken me through the install when I had 6.2, but I lost the
notes I had tried to take. I do remember that I needed to remove
all the existing RPM's, then install, but I know I also had to go into
lilo to complete the process. I don't remember that part
(sigh). bil, can you or someone remind me? Is there anything
written anywhere regarding how to do this? If not, I'm thinking
seriously of putting something together.<br>
<br>
Thanks for any help.<br>

Since you already have the 7.1 CD's, you can go
to<br>
<a href="ftp://speakup.octothorp.org/pub/redhat-7.1//" eudora="autourl">ftp://speakup.octothorp.org/pub/redhat-7.1//</a>
and download the boot images<br>
there. At the boot prompt, type: text speakup_synth=dectlk<br>
If the synth still dozen speak, try: text speakup_synth=dectlk<br>
speakup_ser=0<br>
<br>
<br>
The kernel RPM's are also in the same directory on the FTP site. After<br>
installation, you can install the RPM's to make your system speak. If you<br>
have any questions, call or write.<br>
