Subject: Re: Debian speakup-modified installation?
One mistake I made the first time I installed speakup is that I installed
the 2.6 kernel instead of the 2.4 speakup-modified kernel. You're given a
choice but if you install the 2.6 kernel, then you don't get speakup.
One thing that isn't clear in your message is how you know speakup isn't
there. You don't have a synth so obviously, it's not speaking. You say you
have sighted assistance so I'm guessing your friend installed it for you?
Probably speech wasn't working during the install either, right?
I have an external synth but I know that if I don't have it connected and
turned on at boot time, I don't get speech. There is probably some way to
get it started but usually, I just reboot.

Hello,
I downloaded the Debian modified distribution with speakup built in.
I want to get software speech going on a laptop for which i do not have a
hw synth.
I'll have some sighted help.
I tried and got a linux running, but it does not look as if speakup is
there.
I will ssh into the laptop once the linux is running from my desktop.
I intend to then configure the software speech. Most people here are
using Debian, but I have only worked with Redhat/Fedora reasently
and with Slacware long ago.
Any tips welcome.
TIA
Willem
