just told you to use the control +alt combination because it is what is

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>hello</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>how do I get speak up speaking when fedora
boots?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>it isn't speaking at all</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>and the directions don't work on setting
that up</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Creating an INITRD</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Follow these steps to create an initial ram
disk image for your installation. This is how we make Speakup speak
while your computer boots now that Speakup<BR>is modular. Of course, if
we were smarter people, we would have modified the installation scripts
to do this for you automatically based on the Speakup<BR>synthesizer
keyword you provided back when you first started the installation.. But,
... well let's not go there!<BR>List of 5 items<BR>1. Switch to the
second console by holding down the Alt key and pressing theF2 key. When
you release these you'll find that you're at a #
prompt.<BR>2. Change to the directory that contains your new
installation by typing:<BR>cd /mnt/sysimage<BR>3. Now, restrict
your view to your installation by typing the following command. Notice
that your prompt changes when you do this.<BR>chroot .<BR>4. Next,
change directory one more time by typing:<BR>cd
/lib/modules<BR>5. Now, make a new initrd with Speakup by issuing
the following command. Where wis command has {TAB} you should press the
TAB key. Don't actually type {TAB}!<BR>And, where we have
{synth.keyword}, replace this text with the correct sSpeakup word for
your speech synthesizer.<BR>/sbin/mkinitrd -v -f /boot/initrd-{tab}
--with=speakup_{synth.keyword} {TAB}<BR>list end</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Here's an example of how this command looks
for the Accent SA speech synthesizer and the 2.4.22-2c.nptlspk2 Speakup
Modified Fedora Linux kernel:<BR>List of 1
items<BR>• /sbin/mkinitrd -v -f /boot/initrd-2.4.22-2c.nptlspk2.img
--with=speakup_acntsa 2.4.22-2c.nptlspk2<BR>list end</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Use your Speakup screen review commands to
read up the screen when this command completes. If you see references to
your speech synthesizer, you've correctly<BR>completed this critical
step in your installation process.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Notice, also, how we used the TAB key to
fill out that long and complicated Linux kernel designation for us. Not
only do we save some typing by using TAB.<BR>We also avoid critical
errors. Remember this trick. You can use it almost everywhere in Linux
when issuing commands and when specifying files. It's a very<BR>handy
feature that you'll never outgrow.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Killing First Boot To Insure Speakup
Speaks</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>There is one more very critical step to
perform before you boot your installation. Be sure you are still in the
restricted view obtained by the first three<BR>steps of the previous
command when you issue this last, very critical command:<BR>List of 1
items<BR>• /sbin/chkconfig --level 2345 firstboot off<BR>list
end</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>If you fail to do this step you will find
that Speakup suddenly stops speaking just when it seems you've finished
booting your new installation of Linux.<BR>That's because of the
graphical (and inaccessible) FirstBoot program Red Hat provides to help
users define some important configuration settings, such<BR>as creating
users and identifying how this computer connects to the Internet.
Unfortunately, FirstBoot launches before any consoles launch, so there
is<BR>absolutely nothing you can do as a blind user once FirstBoot is
running either to work with FirstBoot or to get out of it.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I couldn't even get that portion to
work</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>is there a easier way to fix
this?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I all ready bootted the system</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>thanks</FONT></DIV>
