I have a speakout synth hooked up on ttyS0 and am using it at this very moment. But alas, I cannot get it to work with these Debian boot disks. The command I'm using is install speakup.synth=spkout I tried this with and without pressing tab first. In all cases, I get no speech. I saw in the f8.txt that speakup could be used but in parentheses, they said graphical installer only so I also tried installgui speakup.synth=spkout Again, no speach then either. What could be wrong here? I thought these latest CD's would have kernels compatible with Speakup. Do I still have to go out and boot with a dedicated boot disk like Samuel's disk?
