Don't think you'll get a talking install out of the internal DEC Talk because it needs software loaded to talk. For this same reason, the internal DEC Talk isnt' supported by Speakup. Otherwise, there are disks patched on the Speakup site for other synths that do support a talking installation: http://www.linux-speakup.org I know you asked about Debian, but you might also want to look at: http://www.linux-speakup.org/ftp/disksredhat//HOWTO_INSTALL.html Much of what's in that doc is general to installing Linux.
