Is it possible to boot the Speakup modified Debian Sarge installer with softsynth
support?  I tried to boot using

speakup speakup_synth=softsynth

but the kernel hangs right after it is uncompressed and gives no error message.
It says it is booting the kernel, but nothing ever happens.

Thanks,
Lorenzo

No,  You need a hardware synth.
Because software speech in speakup requires speech-dispatcher and
speechd-up, you need an installed system to use it.  Speech-dispatcher
is a Debian package, but you will need to build speechd-up from CVS
source.

Thanks.  I was hoping just maybe it would work, as my laptop has no serial port,
and I want to use Debian with Speakup.  Oh well, back to the drawingboard I
guess.

Softsynth is something which needs to be included as a module.  See your kernel
config which you should find under the /bood directory and grep for
speakup_sftsyn module.  See if this is in fact a module or a statically linked
thing. M infront of it means module.
