Hi, I have created a Debian Sarge (testing) netinst iso which is Speakup enabled. I have tested it myself and successfully installed Debian Sarge using this method. The iso and md5 checksum is available here http://people.debian.org/~shane/netinst-speakup/ A few things of note if you are interested in testing this. First, this is by default a regular Debian netinst install CD, in order to enable speakup, you need to type something similar to the following at the boot prompt speakup speakup_synth=txprt Replace speakup_synth with the speakup synthesizer code of your synth. Users with an Accent SA need not use a speakup_synth parameter as it is the default. In this case, simply typing speakup is sufficient. One gotcha I have found so far is by default, the kernel installed on the target system in the base system installation is not SpeakUp enabled. So, though the installation itself will talk, once the system is rebooted and Linux boots, there is no sspeech. Further, d-i doesn't prompt you to choose a kernel by default. To get around this, use the following at the initial boot prompt speakup DEBCONF_PRIORITY=medium speakup_synth=xxxxxx Near the end of the installing, you will be prompted for the kernel to install, uparrow to the one with speakup in its name as opposed to 386 and you should have a talking system out of the box. I am interested in any bugreports related to the speakup integration aspect of this CD especially with systems on which I haven't tested it such as laptops. Shane
