I've been trying to compile my own kernel but have discovered that my laptop requires the linux-restricted-modules, and these are proving difficult to re-compile. In Ubuntu Feisty, it seemed that the kernel-patch-speakup package could be installed directly without installing a new kernel. Could someone possibly explain how this worked?

Obtainable where? After reading a bunch of messages off of the ubuntu-accessibility (or similarly named) mailing list, it looked as if at least some versions of the Ubuntu CD contained a bootable talking installer using Orca or some such arrangement (Hardy). However, I have been unable to discover this in the 8.04.x isos - either desktop or server. I was going to try alternative, but since that is using a text based install, it seemed unlikely Orca would be used there, and I knew that speakup was no longer available in official releases, and was not likely to be for a while. So somewhat perplexed. I'm obviously missing several somethings here. I know this is somewhat off topic, straying into orca, but I still prefer a speakup solution, if one is available, which it seems that it might be.

The question was about Ubuntu (see the subject line, or the original message). You said "debian installer", and since it was a ubuntu thread, I assumed that you were talking about the version which is used to install ubuntu.

Hi Mike, The installer talks, and you do need one of the supported synthesizers to use it. It also works with brltty, although I haven't used it that way. To get into it: 1. Insert CD, boot with it, wait for a beep in your PC speaker. 2. Press the tab key, then type: speakup.synth=xxxx and press enter. Substitute the mnemonic for your synth in place of the x's. I have used the installer several times with no difficulty.
