Does Ubundu even support speakup in any install? Could it be done by serial
console for install?

Subject: Re: Getting started with Gnopernicus
So far as my past experience indicates, you can't get there from here. The
problems are slackware and debian and in each case they're different. You
may be able to do it with slackware but you'll need to do your gnome
install from gnome.org since the current version has all of the
accessibility pieces in it you'll need. slackware has gargnome and it
doesn't have all of the accessibility pieces installed. Debian is
probably similar to slackware. gnopernicus on debian may have all of the
pieces installed including speech but even with festival and eflite
installed I could never get that working. Fedora 3 and maybe above and
ubuntu might be better ways to go. If you want a link to the site with
the ubuntu accessibility disk I can send it. The problem with ubuntu
though is it needs sighted assistance to even install it and the help I
had earlier this weekend got me a failed system install. That was an
error 18 in grub and that happened because ubuntu didn't make me a boot
partition.

Hello,
I'm running Slackware 10.2. I have installed X, the Gnome desktop, (taken
from Slackware 10.1) and the Gnopernicus package. (also taken from
Slackware 10.1)
So now, I need detaild instructions on how to get this up and running.
I have a Braillex EL-80 braille display.
I need a good speech engine.
Now I'm running BRLTTY.
Beside Gnome, I also want to use terminals.
Hope someone can help me getting started.
I'm really new to Linux, so I need good descriptions.
Regards,
Martin
