* Hello @ William Rivera ` Hello Albert E. Sten-Clanton ` Hello Gaijin 0 siblings, 2 replies; 18+ messages in thread From: William Rivera @ UTC (permalink / raw) To: speakup Hi all, I just joined the list and am a newbie at Linux. I installed Fedora 7 Moonshine on my old P-3 machine using a Lite Talk (ltlk) synth. The pc has a 10Gb hard drive with 512Mb RAM. I can install the minimum Fedora system minus the graphical packages with no problems. It boots into a console and all seems well. Problem is that when I re-install the system and select all packages including graphical packages, it only asks for the first 4 cds and then after I follow all steps to prevent it from loading the initial first start graphic mode, it does not speak. One question is, does the installation ask for all 5 cds? Also, should I just install minimum and use Yum to update all packages instead? Is 10gb enough memory for everything and is that why I can not get the system to speak when I install all packages? Thanks for your help.

Try pressing control-alt-f1 and see if you have speech at a console. If so, you can sign on and modify your runlevel in /etc/inittab.

There is certainly lots to learn just from a minimum install.

Well you came on list and asked probably the most vague and controversial question possible. Sort of analogous to asking what is the meaning of life. We each have the distro we love and we love to hate. I hate fedora and love debian. I could give or take ubuntu for the most part. Slackware is interesting but I won't use it. Same goes for gentoo. I have used all of these for some ammount of time in the past. I started with slackware. I then switched to debian even though I have been using fedora on a server for about 1.5 years. I tried gentoo for a few weeks once back in 2004. I used ubuntu on a desktop machine from about March until two weeks ago when that machine got converted back to a debian machine. You asked about fusion and I don't even know what that is. Are you looking to use speakup on the console? With a software synth? Do you want to use orca? What exactly do you want to do? --FC ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 18+ messages in thread

Hello VaShaun, I'd have replied, but I don't know what Fusion is, and as for which distro, I use Slackware v11, as it suppports my hardware speech synthesizer . Ubuntoo should be a good choice. It's a matter of what you want or need, as well as taste. I chose Slackware because I've heard that it's one of the more secure distros and doesn't use RPM or dpkg package managers. I plan on porting to LFS (Linux From Scratch) in the near future, which is about as hard as Linux gets. Maybe I'm a masochist, but I despise Slackware's BSD style initialization scripts. very disorganized, but what can you expect to come out of Berkeley these days. Fedora and Ubuntoo both support software speech synthesis and should do you well. The Linux kernel is in the middle of a transition at the moment as everything seems to be moving to USB devices, and SpeakUp isn't quite up there yet. Only serial speech synthesizers are currently supported. Until the dust clears, or unless you have a serial synthesizer, I recomment Ubuntoo and Fedora. Just stick the CD in the drive and read the installation docs on the disk. You'll have to look for the many download sites to get a copy, or just buy the CDs from places like CheapBytes. If you're anything like the rest of us, you'll go through many flavors of Linux before settling on a distro you love. Take care, Michael ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 18+ messages in thread
