Hello!

I'm about to try out speakup with debian.

Does it work?

If it does, how do you get it to work? with fedora I just installed a kernel rpm.
But there is no such patch for debian, can I get some help?

Hi,

The Speakup kernel for Etch is not in the main Etch repository, but you can 
still get it.

Go to http://people.debian.org/~shane and you'll find both Speakup kernel 
packages and Speakup-enabled netinst CD images.

Good luck,
Geoff.

Hello!
Ok, great!
I'm installing the latest test version, because I want the latest packages, 
and install with brltty.
Can I still get speakup to work?

Hi,

ah.  That I don't know about.  Maybe try writing to shane@debian.org and 
asking him about kernels for Testing.  I'd be interested in the answer.

Geoff.

http://people.debian.org/~shane/netinst/ download the netinst iso file 
then burn it to a CD.  I'm using debian with speakup as I write so yes it 
does work.  When you boot that CD, there are some kernels on it.  The one 
you want to boot is 26test followed by a space and the name of your 
hardware synthesizer ltlk for litetalk in my case then hit return.  There 
is a mainmenu on demand program up on the http://www.acbradio.org of a 
debian speakup install demonstration.  If you can find what episode that 
is and listen to it first you'll probably do okay.

Hello!
I've allready listened to that one.
The problem is that I've not got a hardware synth, but ttsynth, so I need to 
install with brltty.

I've got the 4 testing dvd:s here on my computer, how many of them will I 
need to burn to disk to be able to perform an install?

You want to install grml from http://www.grml.org/ that's also a speakup 
debian but with sound card speech and it's security hardened too.  If you 
get that one grml swspeak gets the sound card speaking.  You run the 
grml2hd script to do hard disk installation.

[Lorenzo Prince]

Is there an upgraded version of this boot CD anywhere?  Or does Debian now
include Speakup in the official distribution?

Thanks,
Lorenzo

I would like to try Debian on my laptop.  Unfortunately, I don't have a
floppy drive.  Is there a way to install Debian with speakup without the
use of floppies?

Thanks,
Lorenzo
