Hiya,
I'm not quite sure whether I should worry about rolling my own kernel as I used to do with Gentoo, or if I can get the Speakup-modified kernels from somewhere. At any rate, though, I've been able to get the system up and working via SSH--not the most reliable thing in the world, but it's better than nothing.
Any advice for how to get Speakup and friends working with it? (I know I'll need speech-dispatcher and speechd-up, as well as espeak.)
Thanks much in advance,
Zack.

Hiya, I managed the install with GRML-debootstrap. All that I needed to do was edit the /etc/debootstrap/config file, which was pretty easy with the comments. Then I ran grml-debootstrap and let it just go. There were a lot of noninteractive messages, which I ignored. After it was all over,I actually didn't need software speech, as I was able to SSH into the system from another machine. Now that I've got Etch, though, I'd like full access if possible--well, anyway, as full as the lack of a hardware synth will let me. I hope this helps. If you've got any questions, feel free to ask, and I'll do the best I can to answer.

The kernel you installed from grml probably already supports software speech. After all, grml supports software speech. That means the next step is probably to install the rest of the software speech components. There are excellent instructions on getting software speech working on the speechd-up web site. See the following page: http://www.freebsoft.org/doc/speechd-up/speechd-up_1.html I like that page because it explains how to make sure that each step is working before moving on the the next. A lot of authors could learn from that. I believe the guy who wrote that page is on this list.

Hello, No. The system installed a standard 2.6.18 Etch kernel. I didn't see an option to install the GRML kernel in the config file. As for getting software speech working, I can probably do that...I just need Speakup first.
