I will no longer bother this list if this is the general consensus here. As much as I am not a fan of NT, due to screen-reader difficulties, I guess I may have to forget all of this Linux and go with something that I can get some help with.

Things change quickly in the Linux world. Also, it looks like you read the Fedora HOWTO and just assumed it would work anywhere. Debian ain't Fedora. Go read the Debian specific docs instead of guessing. Especially when you continue to guess wrong. Since you won't read, ****There is not a 2.6 official Debian kernel with speakup.*** If you want a 2.6 kernel in Debian, you build it yourself. There has never been a text speakup)_synth=synthname for Debian. You're confusing Debian with Fedora. The answers to your questions are spelled out clearly in the docs for Debian. Btw, I'm being harsh with you cause you keep not bothering to read. Stop guessing and go read!
