Hi Don
Could you explain how you managed to get Speakup working with the backtrack
distro and does it work well? Also gnome orca, how well does that run on
backtrack for you? I'm sorry but I am quite new to linux and I am not sure
how to go about learning and which distros to start with as backtrack,
ubuntu are the 2 main linux OS that are going to be used at the university
I am hoping to attend. Is there a talking install to install linux
backtrack or would I need sighted assistance to set it up?
Sorry for all the questions,
Lexi

Subject: speakup and the backtrack 5 linux distro
Hello,
I am working with the folks from offensivesecurity to get their backtrack5
penetration and network security linux distro to be accessible.
So far I have incorporated brltty 4.2 and as of this afternoon I got speakup
working with it as well.
The backtrack5 distro is based on ubuntu 10.4 (lucid), but boots to the
console.
I have installed gnome-orca onto my virtual machine as well, but I need to
know how do I get speakup to release pulseaudio and speech-dispatcher to
orca and vice versa?
Also are there any plans on making speakup work with other software tts
engines like the svox pico synthesizer?
