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

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
