When you download the netinst iso image to make a talking system, if you press the lowercase s and then return when you boot the disk and hear the drive stop turning, you will get software speech via speakup for a talking install of a talking system. I do not know what gtk has to do with it as speakup does not use gtk. The problem many people have been having is that when they press the lowercase and return, they, for some mysterious reason, are not getting the requested software speech. The question is why. This pretty much summarizes all this. I did not have any trouble, and I don't understand it either. Glad to help. Doug Smith
