I believe that's for bringing up Orca on some distros.

Sent: Saturday, February 15, 2014 10:45 AM Subject: Speakup available? (wasRE: patched debian kernels) First, thanks to John for the kernel patch. Whether I get to use it or not, I do appreciate it. Second, I tried this week to use both the Debian live CD (7.2, I think) and the 32-64-bit install CD, 7.3 if I remember right. As I understand the installation guide, I should be able to get speakup, at least on the latter, by typing the letter s at the boot prompt and hitting ENTER. It didn't work. I tried arrowing to the right option, but that also failed. I tried lower and upper case. I tried with both the live CD and the net-installer one. Also, when I allowed the live CD to boot up, I could not get Orca -- at least, I didn't hear it. I could reboot or shut down after going to a console terminal, so I figure the CD is probably working right, but without speech there didn't seem to be much else useful I could do. Can anybody tell me what might be going wrong, or what I might be doing wrong? If it's a case of muted sound, how would I fix that? (The usual amixer command that I use to raise the volume did nothing.) I've so far found no help with this through Google searches, even though I know there has been some correspondence about Weezy and Speakup. I'm using a 64-bit machine. Thanks for any guidance.
