That's how I installed archlinux. To get speakup going on archlinux when you boot and hear the tones, downarrow once then hit enter then wait. Speakup should come up. When it does and you're at the root prompt then get highlight tracking on with speakup. Then run archinstall and you should find it much more verbal and workable. In additional packages to get espeak-ng installed and able to work when that prompt comes up you need to add espeakup espeak-ng and alsa-utils. Once you get all other questions answered you'll be offered the opportunity to chroot into your new system and customize things. Do that and in there systemctl enable espeakup and also enable dhcpcd systemctl enable dhcpcd. If none of that works then you got a bad copy of archlinux and need to complain to your internet provider and have them fix your internet so that doesn't happen again and by none of this I mean on boot downarrow then hit enter at the tones if you don't get speech or the install breaks somewhere else you may have made a bad choice but if packages install fails that's definitely an internet provider screw up. -- Jude <jdashiel at panix dot com> "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
