[Xastir] festival problems

[John Place]

I tried what Curt suggested in his post. Didn't work. Come to find out 
Mandrake has the new RPM's on their web site but what you to pay for 
download. of the correct rpm's. So much for open source.
I guess I will put the sound on hold for now. Don't really need it. 
Unless one of the built in programs will work that come with the 
download version of Mandrake 9.2.
