erratum: instead of sha256sum slint64-14.2.1.4.iso.sha256 please read: sha256sum -c slint64-14.2.1.4.iso.sha256 Didier Le 28/01/2022 à 10:22, Linux for blind general discussion a écrit : > Hi Rob > > Didier, Slint maintainer here. > > A few questions below: > 1. Did you check the integrity of the ISO after having downloaded it? > For this you need to download both the ISO and the checksum: > wget https://slackware.uk/slint/x86_64/slint-14.2.1/iso/slint64-14.2.1.4.iso > wget > https://slackware.uk/slint/x86_64/slint-14.2.1/iso/slint64-14.2.1.4.iso.sha256/iso/slint64-14.2.1.4.iso.sha256 > Then this command: > sha256sum slint64-14.2.1.4.iso.sha256 > should give this output: > OK > else, redo the downwloads. > 2. Which vitrualization software are you using? > wrt sound and speech, the best is by far Qemu, which is available for MacOS: > https://www.qemu.org/download/#macos > However I can't test, as I do not own a Mac. > 3. When asked if you wanted to have speech during installation, did you press > "S" as suggested? Else you will have no speech going further. > > Other that that, two tips if you loose speech during installation > (although this should not happen): > a. press the key PrintScreen which toggles espeakup on/off > b. go to another console pressing Alt+F2, the press Enter to activate it, then type: > /etc/rc.d/rc.espeakup restart > then go back to the installer pressing Alt+F1 > > All this being said you will be way better off installing on a removable drive > than in a VM.
