It isn't a command more like a series of commands and the first thing
anyone wanting to do this will need to do is to set up access to the aur
repository. But all of that is post-install stuff after a basic command
line interface system has been installed and is on the internet.
Talkingarchlinux requires the use of several commands to get it
installed well, my command instruction set takes up three pages of
braille for this installation. I got many of those from the
beginners_install_guide on the archlinux website. At least one tutorial
for installing the command line interface is also available on
http://talkingarch.tk/ and I think is an mp4 file. If you have
installed gentoo before or Fedora Moonshine before you know what to
expect. For those that have only installed Debian or Vinux or Ubuntu or
Kalilinux this will be a different installation environment.
The g.u.i. install tutorial for talkingarchlinux when produced is
probably going to need to describe how to install mate at a minimum and
gnome and kde since people with 1GB of memory probably will need to
install mate to avoid keyboard latency post-install so it'll be good to
know what you have in terms of memory capacity to install the correct
g.u.i. environment.

On the talkingarch iso, you get espeak and can download and install orca
along with a g.u.i. environment as a post-install activity. Tutorials for
doing this correctly have yet to be written by those supporting talkingarch
but those are on their list.

Good, that'll do. How easy is it to install directly by a speech-needy
user? I know XP is long past it's sellbye date.

Well, by default,you'll get Orca and a software speech synthesizer
called eSpeak.

For a former user of many years absence, what is used to make speech in
these distros? I had an external Apollo synth at that time, but not now,
nor
ports to connect it to.
Many thanks, BobH.

Language selection should have been done as part of the installation
itself. Vinux is a poor choice for text-based anything since it
abandoned its text-based branch abck around version 3.x which was 2 or
3 years ago. A better bet for text-based installations is the iso at
http://talkingarch.tk/. Although it talks, brltty comes on the iso so
you can start that up in the usual way if braille is more effective than
speech for you. It may be possible to enable speech and braille, I
don't know since I never had the funds to purchase my own braille
display and use it with any of these Linux distros.

Subject: vinux questions
Hi.
Finally I got the vinux live image working on my computer.
I've got some questions before I decide to use this or debian.
1. can I select the language I want?
I'm using swedish.
2. how do I do if I want to update packages?
In debian I'm using apt-get for this.
3. can I compile new kernels, and install whatever I want just like in
debian?
4. can I do a text based install of vinux with my braille display?
I like text based things more than graphical.
