Okay, the file is uploaded at:

MD5SUM = 5051d8937f3dc23bc5bf835146b8ed57 speakpuprc1.iso

This thing needs to be run into the ground. Partucularily if there are groups interested in the thing. What works, what doesn't work, what could have been done better.

Areas of interest:
--improving the voice
-----could you live with it if that was all you had to guide you.
-----Does listening to it with the programs drive you up the wall

--Alpine 2.00
----This version is supposed to work with Gmail.

--Scanning and Optical Character Recognition
----Do the scripts work?

--IRC Chat
----I've listened to yasr, freetts and irssi. I think it's the best I've found yet. What do you think?

--pjsua--How could it be made as fuctional as possible?

--Anything and everything.

I wish you every success with this.

Be interested in how others get on.
Are you considering working on an SFS?
This would enable speech for any version of Puppy . . .

Hi Trobin,

The ftp server was down for a day and .ca was very overloaded as well..sorry 'bout that.

Check your pm to get the solution for ftp.

@ eric - - Thanks. I'll mgive it a try later

@ Lobster. I think that an sfs would be somewhat confusing, unless the user was aware that he would end up with a command line puppy. Freetts and Yasr do not work with the GUI running. As well, not every program works with all versions of Puppy.

Hi Trobin,

I uploaded speakpuprc1.iso to the Florida server here

http://puppylinux.igsobe.com/puppylinux ... puprc1.iso

md5sum here

http://puppylinux.igsobe.com/puppylinux ... so.md5.txt

Please check the the md5sum....I checked from my side but the file says 111mb. the md5sum matches your file but the file size is smaller than you posted.

Best,
Eric

I found the problem and it's annoying me no end. The remaster did not include any of the scripts I had put in, nor did it carry over any hidden files made when installing the programs.

The programs themselves are there though.

Dougal's improvements of pupremaster works well in 4.1. I've posted something here.
