Hello all:
 
I'm going to change sides for a moment = and use what=20 may be identified as bad language. <grin>
 
I herd that it was possible, to output = the install=20 screens of a 9-x, NT-x platform to a serial port, to have it spoken by = an=20 external synthesizer.  One of the major stumbling blocks I'm = faced=20 with is total control of building a 9-X or NT-X machine from the ground=20 up.  I have to rely on a sited individual to read the=20 installation screens up until the point where my screen reader can = be=20 installed.  
My current screen reader requires that = IE 5.0,=20 sound driver of course, and video driver be installed before it can = become=20 operational.  
Can anybody shed some light on this=20 matter? 
I think one of the clear benefits of a = Speakup=20 adapted Linux machine is the ability for the blind user to hear the = installation=20 processes, along with the added security and the total independent = control over=20
his or her=20 computing environment.
