<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi. Slakware is a distribution. The distribution
you are trying to use is zipspeak. I don't know much about zipspeak, but someone
else might. You have to type something like linux speakup_synth=<synth>,
where synth is your synthesizer. For example, if you have dectalk express, you
type dectlk for the synthesizer. If you have doubletalk, you would type dtlk
instead of dectlk. Hope this helps. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi list. My name is Ameer Armaly, and
I'm a newbe to linux. I've never successfully loaded linux before, for
reasons forgotten. Anyway, I tried it again, but now I have windows xp
which doesn't support real mode dos, so a boot floppy was needed.
I wrote a bood disk wit windows rawwrite. It booted with "boot:", after
which I hit enter without typing anything. It sat for about five
minutes, saying "mounting root...". Does anybody know a way to
help? Also, is zipspeak updated to the latest speakup and
slackware?</FONT></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
