The install was assisted by Speakup, which I started at the install screen main menu by pressing s. I was quite impressed with the way it all worked, with one silly exception: There was a screen with 78 choices, one per line, and I couldn't figure out how to scroll the screen backward to read the first and second screens of choices, so I just went with the default choice, which turned out to be the correct one for me for the question being asked. Very impressive. No Orca, no forms, just straight CLI. I love CLI. Now then, the system is up and running, there's no desktop, I boot directly to the login prompt, and now I want to get Speakup working on the console terminals. Someone named Samuel from Debian accessibility told me I should install the espeakup package, but apt-get can't find it. What'd I do wrong? And why would I even need to be doing this since obviously Speakup is included in the install, you'd think, or at least I did, that it would already exist on the system and be able to be run. Thanks in advance for any and all assistance and advice.
