List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Tue, 12 Oct 2004 11:05:59 -0000 Hello, I would like to install linux on my laptop. I would like to use speakup and gnopernicus. I must use software speech because I don't want to drag a hardware synth around everywhere. How can this be accomplished? Do I install via telnet? is there a boot cdrom with software speech that can get me started? I was thinking about installing fidora, but it seems extreamly large (2 to 5 gb). Is that the case or is it just me? I know this is a lot to answer over email, so links to tutorials or documentation would be just as useful. This seems like a common problem, and if one doesn't already exist, I will write a howto when I figure out what I am doing. Thanks in advance. Jason
